What to pay attention to after nasal bone fracture surgery

Nasal fracture is a very common trauma that affects nasal ventilation function and facial shape. It may occur alone, or in severe cases, it may be combined with septal fracture, maxillary protrusion, cartilage dislocation, etc., thus affecting the normal function of the nose. Surgery can be used for treatment, and proper care should be taken after the operation.

1. Take good warming measures:

After nose fracture surgery, you should keep warm and avoid catching a cold. A cold can cause runny nose, sneezing, and other symptoms, which can expose the filler in the nasal cavity and cause severe pain, thus affecting the recovery speed of the fracture.

2. Avoid repeated pressure on the nasal cavity:

After a nasal fracture surgery, you should not always stimulate or press the nasal cavity, otherwise it will cause severe pain and swelling in the wound and will not be conducive to later recovery. You should also protect the nose from external forces.

3. Reasonable diet arrangement:

After nose fracture surgery, it is very important to have a correct diet. You can eat more light and easily digestible food, and try to avoid spicy food, carbonated drinks, cigarettes, wine, etc., otherwise it will cause bone irritation and abnormal bone decalcification. In this way, the swelling and pain symptoms at the fracture site will be severe, but it will also affect the healing effect.

4. Do not remove the filling at will:

After the nose fracture surgery, the nose will be filled with expandable sponge to support it. After the filling, you may experience symptoms such as tearing, brain swelling, and dizziness. The filler cannot be removed at will, which can easily cause the fractured nose to collapse again.

The above are the precautions after nose fracture surgery. If you pay attention to these aspects, you can speed up the recovery of the fracture. You should observe the recovery situation at ordinary times. If the swelling and pain symptoms worsen, you should seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's instructions to deal with it correctly. You should also do a good job of local protection to avoid being impacted or squeezed again.
