How long until the facial pain subsides after septoplasty?

Asked By:jmihalek2 in Willoughby, OH

I had my septoplasty done on 05/10/2017. The first 5 days were hell! I had my splints removed yesterday and have been doing everything the doctor told me to do. I'm having serious facial pain in my cheeks, like pressure. Also have jaw pain as well as dental pain. I am unable to take the narcotics they gave me because it causes severe migraines. I have been limited to only Tylenol and ibuprofen. My nose doesn't really hurt it's just a little tender.
