I'm having trouble sleeping after having septoplasty. What can I do?

Thanks for the great question and I'm sorry to hear you're having such a difficult time sleeping. One of the best thing to do the first few days after nasal surgery is to sleep upright. Sleeping upright helps to really reduce the amount of swelling in the nose and may improve your breathing a little bit. Most patients have some difficulty breast which usually improves after 48-72 hours. Ask your surgeon first, but using some nasal spray may help to remove some of junk in your nose. Best of luck and congratulations on your surgery!~Dr. Sieber
