This pad will absorb any drainage from your nose and will be changed as needed. Also there maybe a dressing in your nose with small pull strings attached. This dressing is usually removed while you are recovering, before you are discharged. The head of your bed will be elevated for your comfort and to decrease nasal bleeding and nasal membrane swelling. Instead, spit them out into the kidney-shaped bowl that will be available.
Anesthesia can also cause nausea.
Medications will be provided for complaints of pain or nausea. Do not blow your nose. If you have nasal congestion, sniff and spit into a tissue. Keep the head of your bed elevated. Do not drink through a straw.
