I have gone through your query; and suggest you that it would be ok to fly two days after nasal cauterisation if you don't have nasal packing and Eustachian tube dysfunction after consulting with your doctor.

For your kind information nasal cauterisation done for many reasons such as bleeding polypus, allergic rhinitis, erosion of the nasal mucosa etc.
