See below: Do not blow nose. Sniff only. Keep nose moist by squirting and sniffing nasal saline spray every couple of hours. Apply bland ointment like ayr nasal gel, vaseline, or neosporin frequently to nostrils. Use humidifier.

Directions: This is something that the doctor or hospital will provide someinstructions for. Most doctors have their own specific instruction to follow. But it is not too complicated. Keeping the nose clean. Not blowing your nose. And usually the splints in the nose are taken out after only a couple of days. Best is to check with the surgeon who performed your operation.
