Before the Operation 84.44% of the patients reported Problem of Itchy nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin, or any area while only 26.66% patients reported this problem after Operation this observed difference was statistically significant (Z=5.51, p<0.05) similarly of Runny nose71.11% and 20.00% ;Significant (Z=4.8, p<0.05), Sneezing77.77% and 17.77% ;Significant (Z=5.69,p<0.05) . Dark circles under the eyes in 51.11% and 31.11% this was not statistically significant (Z=1.92, p>0.05). Headache in 62.22% and 26.66%; significant (Z=3.39, p<0.05). Problems with smell53.33% and 28.88%; Significant (Z=2.35, p<0.05). Stuffy nose (nasal congestion) 64.44% and 15.55%; Significant (Z=4.49, p<0.05).
