11 days post op rhino Ive pretty much stop leaking any blood until I put bactrician zinc in my nose very gently then Ill start bleeding and its always in the same spot from where my internal stitches are, also my nose starts to burn a lil from the ointment. Is it normal to bleed and burn a little from stitches only after the ointment has been applied? Am I allergic to it? My doctor said not to use it if it irrates me but I feel I should have some type of ointment on it to keep it moist in there.
Hi, I had a rhino/septo about 6 weeks ago and I have bad scabbing and mucus in my throat. And my breathing is very congested at times I can only breathe out of one nostril, then sometimes it changes to the other. Ive tried saline spray, Vaseline, ointment, and a humidifier. But scabs keep coming back even after Ive cleaned it. Is there anything else I can do. I just want to be able to breathe better.
Hello! I am 9 months post an open rhino to reduce bulbous tip and turbinates. I have had persistent pimples and commodes on the tip of my nose which i have mostly left alone. However, I have been applying some benzyl peroxide topical ointment overnight for 2-3 days and while the size of the pimples has been reducing, the tip of my nose is very red. There is no burning or irritation of the skin, just the reddness. Is it safe to use the ointment or am i damaging my nose? Thank you!
I am 10 days post op after Open Rhinoplasty. My stitches we're removed but I have scabs left, when my doctor tries to remove it said that it was necrotic and now i'm scared i might lost my columella and there will be a gap. There was a ear cartillage strut placed on my columella. My doctor told me not to do anything about it and it's still under observation and i was put on antibiotics(co amoxiclav 625mg), Vitamin c (sodium ascorbate) and ointment (mupirocin).
5weeks post op from a rhinoplasty. Everyday since my surgery I have been using Q tips to gently clean the inside of my nose such as mucus but I don't really go deep in there. i don't know any other way to clear the mucus. my doctor said it was okay for me to use Qtips to remove the mucus. I use Saline nasal spray before inserting the Qtips. With my Q tips, I use water & an ointment, not hydrogen peroxide because it burns. I just want to know do Q tips ruin the results of my nose? I'm worried
Hello. I had rhinoplasty with grafts 8 days ago. I was told to use Mupirocin 2% ointment in my nose. I did it twice already. Then I read its instruction which says - dermatologic use only. Do not ise in nose. Im confused. Its just regular bactroban, not nasal. Did I harm myself. Im so nervous. Please answer me.
it is been a couple months that I been dealing with crusting inside my nose. I went to see my doctor a month ago and he said he didn't see anything wrong. But Tuesday I gave him a call because my crusting is not getting better and my surgeon prescript me Bactroban ointment to use inside the nose for one week. I know this ointment is prescript when you have an infection, will it affect if I don't have a real infection?
Hello, I had Rhinoplasty/ Septoplasty 6 months ago everything was healing ok until 2 months ago that i started to have crusting inside my nose. I saw my surgeon 1 month ago and he said to use saline gel and saline sprays that it was just some dryness. Last week I called him cause the crusting hasn't stop and he prescript me Bactroban ointment for 5 days, I can't go see him to often. I haven't started yet because i am not sure if this is safe to use, since he hasn't tested for an infection.
My surgeon prescript me Bactroban ointment for one week to help with crusting inside my nose that he said it is due to staph infection. but he prescript the regular ointment that is use for the skin not the nasal Bactroban ointment. is this one safe to use inside the nose? in the instructions say not to use in the nose that is could cause burning and dryness. can someone help me get a clarification on this. Thanks!
