My 1 year old daughter underwent nasal endoscopy and cauterization because of vascularization of the inferior turbinate. There is some inflammation and mild bleeding in the post procedure phase. What are the post procedure care we should adhere to? Also, doctor has advised using saline drops & neosporin ointment. Should we also apply Betadine solution to expedite the healing? What may be the reason for the mild bleeding? Is it possible that the scab may have been dislodged because of her rubbing the nose with her hand/against the pillow? Please advise.
Thanks for asking I have gone through your question and understand your concern. Your 1-year-old daughter underwent nasal endoscopy, I think your doctor advised for post procedure care.  You follow it. You should avoid and trauma over nasal area. Betadine prevent wound infection, it not fastens healing. To prevent infection your doctor advised newsprint ointment. As your daughter underwent cauterization. She may have mild bleeding for some time. I do not think to worry. Thing will settle gradually.
