Dryness in Nose after surgery
I was operated with Septal Correction with Bilateral FESS with Inferior turbinoplasty in the late May, 2020 and used the medication prescribed for a month which includes a nasal gel and cleaning the nose with a squeezer. I stopped using all the medication in the mid July which is around 1 and half month after the surgery and now I'm having a dry nose which makes it hard for me to breath some times. However when I eat spicy food, nose becomes watery and after cleaning it, it'll be normal for something and then gets dried again and I couldn't consult the doctor who performed the surgery because of unavailability due to the current circumstances.

Hi! FESS is just a surgical procedure to open up the inflammed sinuses, although the severity of symptoms will reduce post surgery but remember it won’t vanish away fully. We advise to continue the saline nasal irrigation regularly even after surgery for better results. Saline irrigation has zero side effects and can be inculcated in your daily chores for better long term results. Along with that if you have any allergic symptoms then take medication for that. In the meantime try to contact the surgeon who performed the surgery for nasal cleaning.
Next Steps
Visit your ENT surgeon for follow up nasal endoscopy
Health Tips
Saline nasal irrigation once to twice daily
