In Severe Pain After Septoplasty W/turbinate Reduction. Dose of Pain Meds Prescribed Isn't Working, is This Normal? (photo)

Asked By:TaraMac

Just had a septoplasty with Turbinate reduction 2 days ago and the level of pain/pressure/burning is much worse than anticipated. Feels too like the internal splint on the left side is cutting into my nostril. I am irrigating every 2-4hrs w/neilmed & using antibiotic ointment & peroxide to clean. Usually 1/2 a Percocet would knock me out but even a whole one isn't helping with the pain. Is this normal and what should I do?
