A member asked:
Post-septoplasty. saw doc 10/23 for stitch removal (didn't dissolve). he says looks good. but i'm sneezing alot. mucus is thick but clear. why sneeze?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflex: Could be related to the nondisolving stitch that's causing a reflex sneeze when you breathe in or tickles your nose hairs, or depending on how it's healing. Mucus is to be expected post-op nose surgery. Good that you are in the clear!
