It's been over a month since my surgery and I started smoking cigarettes here and there once and a while. I was really worried if it would be effect by the healing or even the tissue repairing or recovery? Obviously it is not recommended to smoke for ANYTHING but will this do any major damage to my recovery process? thoughts? Thanks!
I recently had an endoscopic control epistaxis surgery, along with a septoplasty surgery. 2 days after the surgery I smoked marijuana, only 3 hits. The only thing that changed was a bit of swelling but the doctor said that was normal. I am very worried and don't know what to do, I don't feel any pain at all. I'm not sure if it's infected or not because I don't know what an infected nose looks like.
I went to my family doctor and told me today that i had an infection in my nose, caused by smoking, did i ruin the whole operation by continued smoking? Do i need an other operation? My nose still hurts when i touch it and right now i have a very bad taste in my mouth, it's all going down from my nose, from the hospital they did tell me to stop smoking but i smoked anyway cause i thought it wouldn't be effected much, i don't know what i was thinking
