Yes. Tightness and pressure are common during the early healing phase due to swelling and internal sutures. This sensation gradually reduces over a few weeks.
You may gently wash your face after 48 hours, avoiding direct pressure on the nose.
Hair washing is usually allowed after 3–4 days with care.
Swelling or unevenness often resolves within the few weeks. This is temporary and usually settles as healing progresses.
Yes, gentle facial movements are safe. However, excessive or forceful expressions should be avoided during the initial recovery period.
Stiffness gradually reduces over several months as the tissues soften and adapt to the new shape.
Heat can temporarily increase swelling. Staying hydrated and avoiding direct sun exposure helps reduce discomfort.
If you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, fever, or sudden increase in swelling, seek help immediately.
Allergy symptoms vary depending on exposure to triggers like dust or pollen. Improvement is gradual and stabilises with consistent treatment.
Prescribed steroid sprays do not cause dependence when used as directed. However, the use should be limited unless advised.
Yes, mild morning congestion may persist due to overnight mucus accumulation but should reduce over time.
Dry or dusty air from AC systems can irritate nasal lining. Using humidifiers and regular cleaning helps.
Yes, preventive treatment during allergy seasons helps reduce flare-ups and severity of symptoms.
Reduced sneezing, nasal blockage, post-nasal drip, and better sleep indicate effective control.
If symptoms persist, worsen, or interfere with daily activities, a reassessment is recommended.
Internal swelling and healing tissues can temporarily block airflow. This improves gradually as healing progresses.
Yes, mild headaches or pressure are common and usually resolve with rest and medication.
Post-nasal drip is common after surgery as the nose heals and produces extra mucus. This usually improves on its own as recovery progresses.
Yes, bending forward can increase nasal pressure and should be avoided during early recovery.
Yes, smell may be reduced due to swelling and crusting, don’t worry it usually returns gradually.
Yes, environmental irritants can delay healing. Avoid dusty or polluted areas as much as possible.
Some patients benefit from ongoing nasal hygiene to maintain results and prevent recurrence.
Improved airflow can initially feel unfamiliar. This sensation usually normalises within a few weeks.
Yes, dryness or crusting is common and improves with saline sprays and nasal moisturisers.
No, crusting is part of normal healing unless accompanied by increasing pain, fever, or foul discharge.
Yes, surgery improves airflow but does not eliminate allergic inflammation, which may still require treatment.
Temporary voice changes may occur due to altered airflow and usually resolve on their own.

Saline sprays are typically recommended for several weeks or as advised by your doctor.
Swelling and healing tissue can mimic congestion initially. Breathing improves gradually over weeks.

Improved nasal airflow often enhances sinus drainage and reduces infections over time.
Temporary changes in airflow can cause this and usually settle as tissues heal.
Yes, dryness is common and improves with regular nasal care.
Heavy lifting increases nasal pressure and should be avoided for a few weeks.
Breathing improvement is best assessed after 4–6 weeks once swelling subsides.
Cleaning prevents crust buildup, reduces infection risk, and promotes healthy healing.
Yes, mild fatigue is common and improves as the body recovers.
Sinus pressure can come and go during recovery as the lining heals and swelling reduces. This is common and typically improves over time with proper aftercare.
Follow-up endoscopies allow your doctor to assess healing and remove crusts if needed.
Temporary voice changes may occur due to airflow changes and usually resolve.
Mild odour can occur due to crusting and reduces with proper nasal care.

Yes, especially in patients with allergies or asthma, which is why maintenance treatment is important.
Yes, as they help control inflammation and reduce the risk of polyp recurrence.

Many patients experience better asthma control after improved nasal airflow.
Regular reviews help detect early recurrence and maintain results.
Yes, allergy management and avoiding triggers significantly help.
Inflammation inside the sinuses takes time to settle. Symptoms improve progressively as healing continues.
Yes, mucus thickens as sinuses clear and improves with treatment.
Yes, especially in chronic sinusitis patients.
Yes, completing treatment prevents relapse and complications.
Yes, incomplete treatment can lead to recurrence or chronic disease.
Mild tenderness may persist temporarily and improves over time.
Surgery is advised if symptoms persist despite adequate medical treatment.
After surgery, swelling around the tear duct can temporarily block tear drainage. This is normal, and tearing usually improves as the tissues heal.
Yes, mild discharge or blood-tinged mucus may occur initially
Avoid rubbing to prevent irritation and disruption of healing.
Some patients notice this temporarily due to the new drainage pathway.
Yes, mild bleeding can occur during early healing.
If a stent is placed during surgery, it is usually removed during a follow-up visit after a few weeks. Ensure that the tear duct is healing properly before removal.
