Turbinat hypertrophy planning pregnancy
Hi, I am having turbinate hypertrophy and allergic rhinitis(sneezing and nose block) from past 7months.
One of my nostrils is always blocked during day and night.
I don't face sleep issues because one of my nostrils is open and other remains blocked and I sneeze in early morning frequently.
I have taken allopathic medicine from ENT but that didn't help also taking homeopathy medicine and not seeing much improvement.
I am stopping homeopathic medication this month.
Is it ok if I plan pregnancy in next month or so provided I still have turbinate hypertrophy and allergic rhinitis.
If I get pregnant will there be any risk to baby for oxygen supply. Please clarify.

I think you have no choice. The problem of rhinitis and turbinate hypertrophy is going to stay. How long can you postpone pregnancy?
Just ensure that you tell about all the medicines that you are taking or likely to take in the near future so that Gynaecologist can decide which medicine can't be given to pregnant lady.
