1. You can now blow your nose gently. You will get all kind of "stuff" (nasal crusting, debris, and trace of blood tinged mucus out of your nose. This is absolutely normal for a few weeks. No need to be alarmed.
2. Continue to irrigate your nose with saline (Neil Med Sinus Rinse). This will keep your nose moist to reduce crusting and potential bleeding.
3. Resume your previously prescribed nasal corticosteroids (Flonase, Xhance, Pulmicort, etc.), this will help reduce the inflammation caused by surgery and/or existing allergies and hypersensitivities.
4. It is normal to have temporary increase in congestion as the nose may swell and scab. On your follow-up visit, we will clean out your nose.
5. There may be times (up to a few months out) that your nose may become suddenly congested. If this occurs, gently try to use saline irrigation to help blow your nose to get the scab out. If your nose remains obstructed, make an appointment to see if your nose needs to be cleared out.
6. NEXT APPOINTMENT: Don't forget to schedule your next appointment in 1 week. We will perform a sinus debridement in the office by removing the crusts and debris using an endoscope (camera). This improves healing, lessons scarring, and reduces risk recurrence.
7. REMINDER! You sill have a continued risk of bleeding, therefore, avoid vigorous activity including lifting heavy weights, and most sports for at least one more week. If you do bleed, do not panic. First if you have oxymetazoline (Afrin), apply it to a cotton ball and place the cotton ball in your nostril. Second, pinch your nose for 10 minutes and see if that stops the bleeding. If bleeding continues, no worries, we may be reached 24/7 for any emergencies at (281) 723-2644.
