Pressure in Nose when Swallow After Rhinoplasty

July 13, 2013
Asked By:nosebreather25 in Maryland

I had rhinoplasty less than 4 days ago. When I swallow to eat or swallow in general there is a distinct pressure build up in my nose and then a limited release through my nose and ears. My nose is fairly full with dry blood and I am not sure if Dr put packing in. I do not mind the uncomfortable feeling but I am concerned that I will disrupt healing or the final results by continuously swallowing and creating that pressure in my nose. Is this a valid concern ? Thanks !
