Post-Operative Turbinates

To Post-Operative Patients:

These are some brief instructions that should answer most of your questions during your post-operative period. We have a 24-hour answering service that will notify Dr. Payton and/or Dr. Murry or Dr. Roediger after hours regarding questions, concerns or emergencies. The office number is 797-5753.

The doctor will give you a prescription for 5 days of Prednisone to reduce swelling in your nose.
Use saline nasal spray frequently, 6-8 times a day, to keep the nose moist and to wash away scabs.
Two to three times a day for the first 7-10 days, place antibiotic ointment, such as Neosporin® or Bacitracin® , in the nose to keep the scabs soft.
Notify our office of any bleeding problems.
