Unbearable pain after septum surgery may be related to edema compression in the operated area or inflammatory factors stimulating the nasal sensory nerves, or the patient’s low tolerance to pain, or postoperative septal hematoma and abscess. General treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment should be selected according to the etiology and degree of disease.

Edema compression in the operation area or inflammatory factor stimulation of nasal sensory nerves: Damage to the tissues in the operation area during surgical operation causes local swelling and congestion, followed by the release of inflammatory factor, which can lead to intolerable postoperative pain. Cold compresses can be applied around the nose to reduce the pain stimulation.
2. Patients with low tolerance for pain: some patients have low tolerance for pain, slight pain can cause obvious discomfort, and the postoperative pain is unbearable.
