Is Mortin The Safe Medication For Pain Post Septoplasty Procedure?

I had Septoplasty procedure about 9 hours ago. Had a lot of bleeding for a few hours but it is better on the side where I had the problem. Started having pain about 4 hours ago and took Motrin. Prefer to not take the Percoset (so?). I actually feel good. Is this normal or should I expect things to worsen?)

Hello,

Don't take Motrin or naproxen (Aleve) for one week after surgery, as this may increase your risk of bleeding. Do not engage in any strenuous activity for 2 weeks after surgery.

Avoid blowing your nose for 2 weeks after surgery. If you must sneeze, try to sneeze through your mouth. You can apply an ice pack, covered with a clean cloth or towel, to the nose and eye area to reduce pain and swelling.

At night, sleep with the head propped up on two pillows to diminish swelling and congestion. Do not take a shower or bath for the first 24 hours after surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
