4、 How to take care of your nose after surgery?
After surgery for sinusitis, to avoid infection, spectrum antibiotics can be used continuously for a week. Within a few hours after surgery, dry cotton balls can be placed in the vestibule of the nose to prevent blood stained secretions from flowing out. Cold compress can be done with a cold towel or ice to reduce swelling after surgery, and bleeding and other conditions should be observed. Within one to two days after surgery, remove the blocked gauze strip from the nasal cavity and breathe through the mouth while both nasal cavities are blocked. Wipe the mouth with a damp cloth in a timely manner and consume more water to avoid dry mouth and tongue. In addition, do not rub your nose or sneeze forcefully to avoid hindering the healing of the wound. After surgery, you should rest more and have a light diet, avoiding stimulating and spicy foods. After removing the gauze strip from the nasal cavity, under surface anesthesia of the nasal mucosa, a suction device is used to clean up postoperative secretions, blood clots, and scabs. After this, daily cleaning is required until discharge. Even after discharge, it is necessary to have a follow-up visit to the hospital for a certain period of time to ensure satisfactory results. Generally, the cycle is three months, and some patients may need to have a follow-up visit for six months or longer. Moreover, if the wound is not properly cared for after surgery, it may become infected and lead to a long period of time without recovery.
5、 Nursing methods for sinusitis patients in daily life
Firstly, it is necessary to ensure fresh air in the living environment. If the indoor environment is relatively dry, some humidifiers can be placed to ensure a relatively humid environment, thereby preventing sinusitis and other oral and nasal diseases. However, during the use of humidifiers, it is necessary to ensure the hygiene of the humidifier and regularly clean it to avoid the growth of bacteria. And patients with sinusitis must ensure sufficient water intake in their daily lives. Only by drinking plenty of water can the nasal cavity be kept moist and smooth. It is necessary to ensure sufficient water intake every day to ensure blood circulation in the nasal cavity. Usually, they can drink some hot tea, such as sage, stir fried fennel, and star anise tea, which can facilitate the flow of mucus in the nasal cavity. Secondly, you can rub your nose, but be careful not to use too much force during this process to avoid further infection. Finally, the humidity inside the nasal cavity can be humidified by taking out a basin of hot water and breathing through the nose. This can increase the humidity inside the nasal cavity, accelerate the movement speed of cilia in the nasal cavity, and thus increase the blood circulation in the nasal cavity, making the nasal cavity more smooth. At the same time, a hot towel can be applied to the nose for inhalation, and all the hot air can be sucked into the nasal cavity. You can also inhale vigorously during showering at night, which can make the nasal cavity more comfortable.
