Fess & Septoplasty doubt
Hi, I have done my Septoplasty + FESS 14 days back my right side nostril is completely clear but left side is still blocked. Also I spitting out dark blood till today is it normal? I can also see a turbinate like thing which is inside my left nostril is it swollen or blocking the nasal passage should we need to remove/reduce it again?
Hi
Greetings
The image you've shared looks like caudal end of the septum.
It's normal anatomy. Nothing to worry about.
Regarding the blood clots , those are crusting post surgery. So that is also expected .
Next Steps
steam inhalation;
to do nasal douching twice daily.
to consult for further opinion.

Hello the view is not clear to say about the swelling but it is not turbinate. It takes time to relieve the blockage after surgery . The blood you are spitting out may be the clots from your nasal cavity. Visit your ENT consultant and follow the medications and advise given by him / her.
