    Hey guys
    I’m almost 6 days after my op and still have a small amount of clear fluid weeping from my nose. My nose is still entirely blocked and I’m still breathing through my mouth too… Does that sound normal for 6 days post op?
    My nose is still blowing bubbles too, which is kinda cute but I really want to breathe normal now! Lol
    Thankies xx

    Yes it’s completely normal I couldn’t breathe for about a month and fluid will just be mucus . When the nose is blocked it produces a lot more mucus than normal that’s why we are given drip pads after surgery it should clear up soon 🙂 x

    I know tell me about it! I could only breathe a tiny bit but ii wasn’t getting enough air so I had to keep breathing through my mouth I was just really swollen!! No Dr G told me not to use any sprays or anything I asked him again after three months but he told me no again because he said I’d want to use it all the time and depend on it he said to let it heal naturally. Tried to persuade him but failed haha xx

    I’ve usually got terrible sinuses anyway so it’s worth it for me.
    I cannot breathe one single bit, I don’t wanna go out breathing through my mouth like a 3 year old!
    Have to clear these airways pronto !
