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.
I had septoplasty and FESS 12 months ago and one side of my nostril gets blocked with hard crust that I cannot remove, it hurts and causes pressure on my face. My ENT says theres no issue. But I cant dislodge the crust
I know it's only been a week, but I took a peak and there's a small hole. I'm seeing my ENT/surgeon this Monday, but I'm terrified is a perforation. In reading up, you need an extremely qualified doctor to do this repair surgery and I'm not finding any local. I don't want a button, I want it fixed. How do I ensure I find someone very good, when I can't find anybody at all!? Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but I am very freaked. Plus, my insurance doesn't appear to cover any plastic surgeons. Help!!
I UNDERWENT Septoplasty and Coablation Inferior Turbinoplasty on 9th March 2018. I am not well till now. My husband complaints of bad rotten smell from my nose.. I too smell the same. I visited my doctor four times after surgery... every time he Endoscopy and explains that there are excessive CRUSTING inside nose. please help...what should I do now ?
I had a septoplasty and this is my 10th day post op. I have had some crusting buildup inside my nose lately. Can I use a Cotton Bud to remove them by my self? What I was thinking was to dip them in h2o2 and apply it in the crustings. Is this advisable?
I've had a septoplasty almost 2 yrs ago and it resulted in a septal perforation. It is roughly 1-1.5cm length and around 0.5cm in height/ a qtip is unable to pass through. I've tried living with it, and I'm sick of the constant nosebleeds, crusting and having to clean my nose multiple times a day. I am looking into permanent solutions to this problem. I'm terrified of my nose collapsing.Is it fixable with 1 surgery?What is the best type of surgery for this?And how do I find a reliable doctor?
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 ???
It's been 3 1/2 weeks post op and for the past week I've been experiencing a lot of drainage, Crustiness, blockage, and some slight wait around where the stitch was. It hurt slightly when I blow a little and one side is hard to breathe through and I took a flashlight and looked in my nose and it seems one side is closed/ very narrow.
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?
