A member asked:
Had sinus surgery. noticed tubes in my nose keep getting blocked with dried blood. not suppose to use too much saline. how can i safely clean them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Still use saline: As it is the best to clean off blood clots/dried blood, don't overuse it as you were instructed, till you get hold of the surgeon or one of the team who operated on you to ask, good luck
