Electric Cautery Of Nose-

Had an appointment with my ENT doctor today. Since my nose was still very much blocked she recommended a mini op to be done. This would open up my sinuse so that my medicine can be used effectively, as the corner of my nose cavity was unusually larger then the norm. The whole op took around 15mins, this was what happened:

I lay down on the op table, the doctor used a 5% Lignocaine Hydrochloride acid to clear and disinfect my nose cavity. The feeling? A very painful burning sensation in my whole nose cavity which slowly led down to my throat. Im the kinda guy that wont cry easily, guess what? A tear escaped my left eye, that was how painful it really was. Next the doctor placed two cottons with strings into each of my nostrils to absorb the extra solution, it was really uncomfortable.

Thereafter, she used a syringe to inject local anasthesia into the affected area to numb it. Top jaw, cheeks, nose and back of throat was numbed. She then pushed the cottons further into my nose before using a small pen-like device to burn into the flesh. Even though the area was numbed it still really hurt. It was done on both sides before the doctor took out the cottons and wala! The ops done.

Blood. Blood trickled down the back of my throat. The feeling of a bee sting in my nose, the cottons drenched with blood. Continued to nose bleed for the whole day, even now as im blogging. It will be blocked for a week or so before it becomes better.
