How to clean nose 3 days after rhinoplasty?? I can't breathe.

You should check with your surgeon's office for specific guidance, but I recommend that my patients clean the inside of their nose with some diluted hydrogen peroxide and plain vaseline. This helps loosen dry blood inside the nostril area. Also, salt water (saline) spray and nasal irrigation can be very helpful in removing larger clots and mucous stuck further back in the nose.You can read more about the postoperative recovery process at my web reference link below.

Each rhinoplasty surgeon has a specific postoperative protocol for cleaning the nose.  Usually dried mucus or blood tend to be the culprits for difficulty breathing after nasal surgery.  In my practice, if a saline mist sprayed 3 times/day does not work, I often recommend small amounts of hydrogen peroxide mixed with the saline spray to break up dried blood.  Discuss these things with your surgeon and they will walk you through their particular regimen.

In general, for my patients, I recommend a nasal saline spray and and an ointment be applied to the nose two to three times a day to prevent dryness, promote healing and help clear the nose from secretions and blood clots. However, every surgeon has their own set of recommendations. I would call your surgeons office for a sooner appointment so he can take a look; you most likely need some suctioning. Best of luck to you.
