Make sure you douche the nose 6 times a day. It will clear the congestion.
Dab the nose with a Kleenex as it will dribble blood occasionally for about 3 days. Do not wear the cotton bandage under the nose as you did in hospital. This gives nappy rash after a while.
You may sleep on one pillow at home.
Walk for at least 20-30 minutes a day. This will help the swelling drop. It is normal for some bruising to track down the cheeks.
Pain relief is rarely required but use Panadol if needed.
Before your first post op appointment, douche the nose and use Vaseline on a cotton bud to clean the stitches under the nose.
