Is It Normal to Not Be Given Antibiotics After Septoplasty?

August 30, 2013
Asked By:Andy06 in Mount Pleasant, SC

I was not prescribed any antibiotics after septoplasty, from the research I've done this doesn't seem normal. Should I be worried? Also asked to be given something to help me sleep, since it is not normal for me to fall asleep with my mouth open. Nurse said I would be able to breath through my nose the first night, however, this is not the case. I have slept maybe a total of 2 hours in the 12 hours that I have been home since the surgery. Asked if I could take melatonin instead, no answer.
