Post-Nasal Surgery Symptoms and Follow-Up Guidance

After nasal surgeries such as septoplasty or endoscopic procedures, it’s common for patients to experience temporary congestion, mild discomfort, or occasional pain near the operated area. Some symptoms can appear weeks after surgery due to healing tissues or residual inflammation.

CT scans are often performed during surgery to assess nasal bones, check for infections, and ensure sinuses are clear, which helps prevent complications. If post-surgery symptoms persist for more than a few weeks, or if there is unexpected pain, discharge, or difficulty breathing, it’s important to consult your ENT specialist for evaluation.

Proper follow-up helps address lingering issues and ensures full recovery without complications.
