HOME CARE FOLLOWING SINUS SURGERY -do not blow the nose for 48 hours after surgery unless otherwise instructed by your surgeon -do not remove any packing that was inserted into the nose during surgery -if you have to sneeze, do so with the mouth wide open so that the nasal packing is not dislodged. -sleeping with the head elevated in a recliner will alleviate much of the facial and nasal discomfort and pressure -change the moustache drip pad as needed -use the moustache drip pads to catch drainage rather dabbing the nose -avoid bending over, straining, or heavy lifting as these activities can aggravate bleeding -take only prescribed medications to avoid medicines and vitamins that might aggravate bleeding -return as scheduled for packing removal -for severe bleeding contact your surgeon if your surgery was done at a surgicenter otherwise return to your hospital's emergency room for evaluation |
