I got a septoplasty + turbinate reduction 3 weeks ago. Surgeon took a look at my nose 1 week ago, it looked normal he said. Big issues with drainage/runny nose everytime i just move a bit. Walking around, etc. This is a problem i am a semi pro cyclist, when i ride its gets very runny. Its like i got a huge production of mucus from the nose... Surgeon said to stop cycling, and any activity. But thats simply not an option any longer given its my profession. Is this normal? and what can i do?
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.
I had a septoplasty and bilateral turbinate reduction and cyst removal from maxillary right sinus 2 days ago. I still have heavy brownish drainage with bright red streaks. My post op care said to keep dressing clean and dry. No packing. My nose is so uncomfortable and I also feel like I can taste it in my throat. And I'm spitting large wads of mucus and blood. Pain mild and the most bothersome issue is the congestion. When will the drainage stop and when can I expect the congestion to subside?
Doctors, I've been extemely careful with my nose sincere surgery. I took a week off from worked and have pretty much just watched TV. Recently, as I was about to sleep a bug flew toward my face and naturally reaction I slapped at it, only to hit my nose. Tears to me eyes. My right nostril has been bleeding but nothing has changed in drainage. I still feel some pain but I'm anxious I caused serious damage. I will definitely bring this up to my doctor on Tuesday. Nic
4 year post septorhinoplasty & updated CT scan. Assessing whether a septo revision may be necessary to correct the following symptoms: left nostril reduced airflow; sinus drainage/turbinate swelling or airway collapse. I have included both pre-op and post-op CT scans.
