What Causes Nose To Drip Like Faucet And Sneezing After Anaesthesia?
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:(
If you have not had any allergy problem in 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 to worry. It will subside by itself, I would also suggest you to take a levocetirizine (or any other antihistamine drug), nasal irrigation with saline nasal spray & to take a deep and relaxing breaths. 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.
