How to deal with allergies after Rhinoplasty?

September 18, 2015
Asked By:moonlit_eyes in Los Angeles, CA

I live in the Central Valley (CA) and am 8.5 weeks post-op. The air here has been giving me horrible allergies which make my nose even more swollen than usual, the region just above my tip gets particularly swollen, on top of making it hurt just to breathe because of how dry my nose gets. On a bad day, I'll get tiny red spots on q-tips while cleaning. I've already spoken to my doctor and am using Vaseline/ humidifier to help w/bleeding. Any tips on how to deal w/allergies and poor air quality?
