Hello, I underwent a Septo-Rhinoplasty on Monday April 29th, and I still have a very sore thorat/tongue 5 days post-op. I reached out to my post-op care nurse yesterday via email and she advised me that this is normal and to use lozenges and gargle salt water. However, everywhere I check online it says sore throat should only last a few days and get progressively better everyday. Is this normal?
Tuesday I got a cold, a week prior to my scheduled rhino. I have a stuffy nose and slightly sore throat. I went to my general physician, who said my breathing was normal. I'm taking paracetamol and an antihistaminic. My surgery is in two days and I'm not 100% yet. I still have a slightly stuffy nose and a cough. I did not have a fever, nor do I feel ill, with aches nor pains, and my physician still says my breathing is clear and normal. I'm scared to call my surgeon for he might say to postpone...
Hi all, I got a rhinoplasty 6 days ago and had a tracheal intubation. I know it is normal to have some throat pain because of this after, however its been 6 days and the pain is still there. It is extremely painful, I haven't been able to eat anything solid, and barely anything liquid, even water and my own saliva burns going down. I use lozenges, a throat spray, salt gargle, antibacterial mouthwash but nothing works!! What is wrong with me! I have no fever, steadying around 35.5C.
I am 5 days PO for my rhinoplasty. The nose discomfort is almost nonexistent. But the sore throat is terrible. At first I thought it was the direct inflammation from traumatic suctioning of blood during surgery. The back of my throat looked like raw hamburger meat. But the throat now looks just slightly inflamed and not disfigured looking. I am starting to think this is now just a postnasal drip. Any ideas? If this is postnasal drip (surgical drainage), how long does this usually last.
Hi, I had a rhino/septo about 6 weeks ago and I have bad scabbing and mucus in my throat. And my breathing is very congested at times I can only breathe out of one nostril, then sometimes it changes to the other. Ive tried saline spray, Vaseline, ointment, and a humidifier. But scabs keep coming back even after Ive cleaned it. Is there anything else I can do. I just want to be able to breathe better.
Today is my 5th day post op from my closed rhinoplasty+septoplasty. I had a sore throat and injured uvula after surgery that seemed to be getting better after by the third day. Then yesterday and today the sore throat seemed to get worse, and I have pressure/pain in my ears and my head. Is this due to the swelling?
Hello, I had a rhinoplasty three days ago and woke up with a sore throat. My lip was bruised from the breathing tube and when I went home my uvula was swollen, red, and dark. The inside of throat has been bloody and irritated ever since. It still hurts. Is this serious damage? Will it heal? Thank you
Hi, Is it normal to feel sick after a turbinate reduction (conchotomy) surgery? Pain, stuffed nose and dripping from the nose. Today, 5 days after the surgery I have a sore and inching throat. My doc said nothing about this and said I would notice improvements with my turbinates within couple of days. I'm using nasal spray with oxymetazolin and steroid spray. I hate this right now!
Hi, it has been 6 weeks since my rhinoplasty. Just about 2 days ago my upper lip was infected and I had an infection in my throat. My doctor gave my antibiotics and I was wondering if the antibiotics would effect anything. Thanks.
