How can I relieve pressure after septoplasty and turbinate reduction?

Sierra Madison
Yesterday morning I had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction. Today I feel an extremely uncomfortable pressure in my nose, the areas around my nose, above my eyebrows, and in my ears. I haven't blown my nose and I stopped taking my pain meds because I'm not in a lot of pain at all, just very uncomfortable due to this pressure. I took a shower today which temporarily helped. Other than that, I've just been using " ocean spray" every 30 minutes and dabbing away drainage.
