Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Sinus pain: If you had septoplasty sounds like you have had problems with your sinuses. Would be reasonable to do the following: nasal saline frequently, decongestant (nasal OK for 3 days), and NSAID. If no relief or if you develop fever notify your provider.
