Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Try using (gently, GENTLY!!!) q-tips, moistened with hydrogen peroxide, to clean your nose. Repeat: Gently, gently!!! Try standing over a steaming pot of hot water and sniffing in -- but don't burn yourself! A shower or a hot tub bath also may help. Do not try this without someone able nearby. You don't wanna clonk your head on the plumbing! Try Afrin (but only as directed - - too much can make it worse, and don't do this one without your surgeon's consent) or Breathe Right strips, or both. Try menthol inhalers. For eating: until it gets better, try some broth -- chicken, beef, whatever. They may be thin enough, and warm enough, to help things loosen up. It will get better soon, and if it does not, get your hubby to holler to the doc. You need to have liquids to help with swelling, etc. (The milky stuff may be causing you more mucous, too.)
