i had septoplasty surgery on the 9th of July. it's now the 19th. i still spit up blood and feel like i have a severe head cold. the doctor said it was normal but i cant find anyone on the web who has had bleeding and pain this long. has anyone had this surgery and is this normal? i had septoplasty and endoscopic surgery. no splints or packing. thanks
Answer:
I would see either the doctor that did the surgery ,or get another doctor to check you ASAP , good luck
I'd continue to call the surgeon who operated on you until he/she agrees to see you and address the problem. It seems to me that you should be noticing some significant improvement by this time.
The stuffiness might be normal - it may take weeks for the swelling to go away completely, and even a little bit of swelling might feel like a LOT of swelling because it's in your nose.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
