Diet after rhinitis surgery is mainly light, easy to digest, nutritionally balanced food. One to three days after the surgery, you can eat rice, lean meat porridge, steamed eggs, etc. After the nasal gauze is removed, you can gradually transition to a normal diet.
Surgery for rhinitis generally includes endoscopic sinus surgery, deviated septum correction surgery, and partial resection of enlarged turbinate. After surgery, the nasal cavity is usually filled with hemostatic material and compressed to stop bleeding. After surgery, the patient’s nasal cavity is swollen and painful, and he/she needs to breathe through the mouth, so the mouth will often feel dry and painful and other discomforts.
1~3 days after the surgery, before the nasal fillings are removed, try to eat a liquid or semi-liquid diet, such as rice, porridge, steamed egg, etc. After the nasal fillings are removed, the patient will need to breathe through the mouth to stop the bleeding. After the nasal fillings are removed, you can gradually transition to a normal diet.
After rhinitis surgery, you need to avoid strenuous exercise, rest, prevent bleeding of the wound, and go to the hospital on time for follow-up.
