I had a rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago and came down with a pretty bad cold/flu as of last night. My nose is quite blocked up and tender, and Im wondering if being sick will increase chances of infection, or if that should be a concern at 4 weeks post-op? Was going to call my surgeon tomorrow to check in, but thought Id try here first to get some opinions. Thanks!
I am worried I am compromising my safety by having surgery tomorrow with some mild cold symptoms. -I have a slight temperature 99.6-100 it varies. -My nose is a little raw. -My throat is not sore, but it is slightly raspy. -I am loosing a $500 deposit:( Could somebody help me out?
I had rhinoplasty 2 months ago and Im noticing just today that upon examining the inside of my nostrils, my septum moves to the right when I breathe out. Should I be concerned about a revision? Could this be a result of having been sick with colds twice during my recovery?
I'm 7 weeks post op I caught some kind of a flu and I was congested I saw my gp he prescribed me with augmentine and prednisone and told me to use some nasal spray according to him I have inflammation in my nose. My question is could the inflammation be from the surgery and I shouldn't take what prescribed me? I'm just worried I don't want to stuff up my nose. My surgeon is so hard to get in contact with because he is overseas I hope you guys can give me a little help?
When I first woke up from surgery I ate some cookies, sandwiches and had lots of tea which tasted a little duller than usual but not so bad. Now five days after surgery I can't eat anything because it all tastes really gone off and putrid to the point where it makes me gag to eat. I can't even go into my kitchen because the faintest smell of food smells so evil it makes me feel sick. I know dull taste must be normal but everything smells and tastes so, so bad. What do I do? :(
So I've been taking zicam since Saturday night and this morning I feel like a cold is starting to kick in. I'm going to continue taking zicam and I'm loading up on orange juice. Will I still be able to go under tomorrow morning and go through with the procedure?
I felt I was getting sick, so I took a DayQuil. I didn't see Vicks DayQuil on the 'Do Not'Am I allowed to or not? Kinda scared now... I took it to prevent from getting sick because i was told to not get sick or surgery will not be able to be performed.
