I had a procedure done on Friday where a general anesthesia was administered along with oxygen mask, and oxygen tubing on the side of my mouth. When I came through, my nose was dripping like a f aucet, and started sneezing. I have already gone through 7 boxes of tissue. Help! Please
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. If you have not had any allergy problem in the past, most probably it may be local irritation to nose by oxygen that caused running nose & sneezing. There is nothing serious, and you need not worry. It will subside by itself, I would also suggest you to take a levocetirizine (or any other antihistamine Chat Doctor.  This will help a lot. However, if you have been allergic previously, there are many possible allergens in a hospital like latex, some medications, etc. In that case I would suggest you to take a combination of montelukast & levocetirizine. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you a quick recovery & best of the health. Regards.
