Cauterization Question
Recently had septoplasty and turbinate reduction. Day 17 post op had a very bad bleed in right nostril. Required a trip to ER and they had to call an ENT in at 3 AM to cauterize it. I feel like he took his time and did a good job. Had follow up 2 days later to remove packing at my surgeons office, he said it looked good and to take it easy another week until I see him again. I’m terrified I’m going to have another bad bleed at any time even though he said it looked good. I’m 3 days post cauterization and having some slight old blood drainage.
Has anyone had cauterization done after surgery that didn’t eventually require a second surgery? I’m fine with another surgery if that’s what it takes, I’m just trying not to get caught off guard with another traumatic experience.
