Non-surgical Treatment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_nose_syndrome

Non-surgical treatment options are meant to maintain and improve the health of the remaining nasal mucosa in the ENS nose by keeping it moist and free of infection and irritation and by maintaining a good blood supply:
Keeping the nasal passages moist with saline-based mist sprays or gels.
Nasal irrigations of regular saline (Many patients prefer to use Ringer's Lactate solution with added xylitol instead, as they find it soothes the mucosa more than regular saline, and there are some empirical studies that back up that claim.
Irrigations of saline with 80 mg of gentimycin if ozena occurs.
