Can one climb steps? Can one use indian style toilet? Can one gargle with water while brushing? Can one flare ones nostrils or make any movement of the nose? Can one practice yogic breathing techniques?(closing alternate nostrils) Can one use saline nasal irrigation using a neti pot and blow the nose after to remove all the water. Can one yawn or cough? Can one pick ones nose? How long is the septum vulnerable after surgery? What activities(examples)can cause it to bend and undo the surgery?
I was not given any way to clean my nose after septoplasty I.e. nasal saline sprey only a cream to apply 4 times daily to the inside of my nose I can not breath at all should I have been given something to help clean my nose?
Got a septoplasty/turbinate reduction and now I have a 0.5 inch hole in my septum (septal perforation). What should I do? I am certain there was not a gaping hole in my septum before surgery. When I got my stints out after 2 weeks, I went to rinse and immediately realized saline was flowing right out the other nostril. I asked my wife to look and she literally gasped and said I have a huge hole. It measures about 1/2 by up to 3/4 the other direction. My surgeon was well reviewed but I can't believe he didn't mention this. It's only been 5 days now and so far I have not had any adverse effects.
I get mucus in back and above of throat. I had a deviated septum surgery. My breathing got much better with occasional blockage still, however, as time has gone I have a hard time sleeping at night as I feel that there is mucus that I cannot clear in the back and above my throat with tightness of throat. I have been using saline, I use 1 spray of dymista 50mcg in the morning and night and 2 sprays of Ipratropium bromide 0.03% and occasionally Afrin. I also take Pepcid complete 2 in the morning and night. I am getting anxiety at night
Is this normal to have a foul stale odor from a perforation? Smells musty or cheesy and people comment. I previously had sinus surgery and discovered the hole post surgery. I then had a silicone button inserted and now that has been removed it wasnt helping. I do saline rinses daily but the odor still persist. Will surgery mitigate this odor.? When I bend down or lay down its prominent. What are my options for a successful closure and odor remedy? Help please.
I had septoplasty surgery to my nose 3 days ago. I was awake for it all but num so u didnt feel much but hear the sound of what was going on which was horrifying. I have the dissolvable packing and they never really told me how long it will be gone or if I can use a SALINE rinse or just a saline spray... they really just did the surgery and sent me out... it was horrible.. please let me know when I should be able to breathe again I am going crazy.
