I had packing of gauze after the surgery that was removed 24 hours later, the pain was too much. I remove the splints next Sunday and I worry about the pain, is there anything I could do to minimize the pain while the splints are being taken out?
Day 2 of post-op I cleaned my nose with hydrogen peroxide and a Q-tip. I cleaned around the rim of the nose inside and out very lightly. 30 minutes later my nose started to bleed in little drops running out of my nose. I was unable to get the bleeding to stop overnight although it slowed down significantly. I woke up this morning to a crust filled nose and a good amount of pressure towards the bridge of my nose. Did I cause a preferation ???
i did my septoplasty 2 days ago. and i had to stay at the hospital for a day, My nose was stuffed with packing and the whole day was terrible. the next day they removed the left packing ( my septum was leaned toward the right side). and let me go home and told me to come 2 days later to remove the right side and after 7 days of the surgery they will remove the splints. my question is ,they removed the packing but i still cant breath. when will i be able to breath from my nose?
Hello, yesterday at 2:45 pm I had septoplasty done, tonight I was cleaning my nose with saline solution and the plastic film came out after blowing softly... no bleeding at all, I put neosporin but I can't contact My surgeon... shall I go the hospital ???
Just had a septoplasty with Turbinate reduction 2 days ago and the level of pain/pressure/burning is much worse than anticipated. Feels too like the internal splint on the left side is cutting into my nostril. I am irrigating every 2-4hrs w/neilmed & using antibiotic ointment & peroxide to clean. Usually 1/2 a Percocet would knock me out but even a whole one isn't helping with the pain. Is this normal and what should I do?
