I am sorry to hear that you're still not feeling well. 5 weeks out is still way too early to see full results from the surgery. As far as the nasal breathing goes, I suggest doing saline nasal irrigation at least twice a day. I use Nasal Crom to help with the allergies. I also use Breathe-Rite strips to prevent nasal collapse. Dr. Li fixed my deviated septum when he did the mma which helped a lot with the breathing. You still have significant swelling. During recovery, I slept on an incline using a wedge pillow which helped a lot.
