Is It Ok to Use Salt and Water on a Sore Throat After Rhinoplasty?

February 3, 2012
Asked By:Harriiii

I had rhinoplasty 5 days ago and my throat is SO painful (left side) it hurts to swallow and even breathe as my nose is blocked up. I was wondering what I should do? I've heard that salt water helps but will it increase swelling? Thank you.
