I am on day 6 and just went to get the splints out of my nose today. Now my nose feels so crusty inside. I can't stand it, so I have been picking the dried blood and crusts out of my nose (often attached to nasal hair - so it hurts). Is this bad to do? If so, why? What can I do instead? My doctor did not give me instructions in regards to touching my nose.
How much discharge and blood buildup should I expect? I had septorhinoplasty four days ago. The volume of discharge has decreased, however now both nostrils are filling up with hardening bloody discharge - both nostrils may be blocked soon. Should I be concerned? What should I do?
Surgery done on Monday, packing removed Wednesday. Thursday and Friday have a stuffed nose that comes and goes, mucus build up that lined with red blood, and spit that often has red blood balls or lining. Is it normal to have nasal congestion that comes and goes, a runny nose of blood lined mucus, and pressure and fatigue around the sinus area? How long does this generally last? Obviously just breathe through the mouth when congested? Thank you!
Im really really worried I messed something up will I be okay?? Im really freaked out because I can fully see them on this right side like the whole thing but not at all on my left and ima fraud its something I did and it will make my nose heal crooked. I was messing too much with my nose it had felt like I have a clump of blood stuck in my right side and Im afraid I moved the splint ?
It has been 8 weeks since having these surgeries and I am still getting large crusts with blood. I have seen mention of debriding for several visits after these surgeries. What exactly is debriding and how is it performed?
I had septoplasty & turbinate reduction surgery done 2 weeks ago. I had splints in my nose for a week, which were removed about a week ago. My concern is that my right nostril is basically great. It is generally clear and when I use the saline rinse, it always runs clear. My left nostril is a different story. I have to use the neti pot approx every 2-3 hours to remove the blockage and consistently get a lot of green and/or bloody mucous out. Should I be worried about infection?
I had my devaited septum fixed by the surgeon yesterday. I now have those plastic tubes in my nose & 3 dissolvable stitches I picked at them what I thought where large scabs of blood could they have been stitches
I had a septorhinoplasty procedure performed on 22/07. After the operation, my septum appeared to be significantly straightened and my nostrils equal. However, while My nose is still straight, my nostrils appear to be different now and the septum is sticking out from where it had been straightened. I don't know if this always was the case but disguised by blood or whether me trying to clean my nose has ruined the result. My appointment is in 3 days with my surgeon, is there anything I should do?
I had a septoplasty in right nostril and left concha bullosa surgery on May 5th '16. I did not have any splints and instead had a nose pack for a 5 days. I had to travel (20 hour flight) for work 3 weeks after my surgery and i still have cold,swelling and tip of my nose still hurts. My nose gets congested every 2-3 days and have diffulty breathing with my nose. I also noticed traces of blood in mucus since last 2 days. Is this normal? How long does it take to cold/flu like symptoms to disappear?
