Smelling Strong Chemicals a Month After Rhinoplasty?

asked 3 years ago by lynwoodca1 in los angeles,ca

Question viewed 362 times

I was fixing my Xbox 360 yesterday, and to clean the CPU and GPU from the old residue, I used a strong chemical and it caused me to sneeze a lot (sneezed through my mouth) and caused me to drip a lot of wet boogers! Can it cause any long term damage or should I be okay? Thank you.

You should be fine

Strong odors usually do not cause any damage to you, even after a rhinoplasty. You probably had a reaction to a nasal irritant, which caused you to sneeze and your  nose to run. This is all perfectly normal and you should be fine.

No need to worry

Chemicals that you inhale should not cause any long-term damage to the nose. What you are experiencing is a simple reaction to the chemicals on the internal nasal skin lining, which cause you to sneeze.
