Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had septoplasty and turbinoplasty 16 days ago. After the surgery, they asked me to come back after two days for packs removal. Then after two days, I went to the hospital, other doctor look after me and he just removed one pack, even I asked him to remove the packs on both sides but he refused it. I then came back home, after two days, I cannot able to eat or even drink anything as my mouth smells very foul and the whole nose got swelled. Then, after seven days I revisit a doctor, then the doctor who did the surgery on me looked inside my nose and pulled out the pack hardly. Then after this, my nose shape changed badly and I cannot breathe normally now, what I can do now?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand you underwent septoplasty and turbinoplasty and you have not completely recovered. After septoplasty post-operatively it takes about two to three months for complete healing and recovery. You must put Solspre nasal spray two puffs four times daily for about a month in either nostril. If there is excessive dryness you must also instill 0.5% menthol paraffin nasal drops three drops in each nostril thrice daily. The room where you stay must be adequately humidified and should have moisture. You must drink plenty of water and take healthy foods. You must go for weekly reviews with the ENT surgeon who can look into the nose and see if the healing is good. If not you may require suction clearance of the nasal cavities. Any clots or crusts may be causing the nasal blockage for you. If after two months also you are not feeling any improvement, kindly contact us. We can reassess the problem and get you the best treatment.
