Print ArticleRemoval of Nasal Adhesions
Risks
The most serious risks are heavy bleeding and infection. Call your doctor if pus drains from your nose, because this is a sign of infection.
Streptococcus and staphylococcus bacteria appear normally in some people. Packing the nose after surgery in people who have these bacteria increases the risk of toxic shock syndrome. Call your doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms:
- A fever of 101 F or higher
- A headache
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- A rash that looks like sunburn
- Chills
- Signs of very low blood pressure, such as dizziness and fainting
There also is a risk that adhesions could return.
