I was able to get a really good rest last night, at approximately 3am my nasal passage on the right side opened up a little and I was able to breath through my nose to sleep.
So I finally got the chance to sit down and write about my second day of recovery. It was quiet day, mostly just sitting around watching Netflix and using my computer. The packing that is inside my nose is completely blocking my nasal passages. The only thing that relieves my congestion is the constant mist of saline spray that I put into both nostrils(every hour). I started to supplement it with ocean spray nasal gel. This gel helps keep the inside of my nose nicely moisturized so crusting would not occur. What I do is spray a saline mist through each nostril first, then apply the gel with a Q TIP. The mist allows for part of my nostrils on both sides to open up a little and the gel serves as almost like an extra shot of saline that oozes through those small hole. It definitely helps a lot!
I took glutamine pills to help with the recovery process and continued my Organic ORGAIN meal replacement shakes. Was able to eat solid foods again. Ate Spicy Salmon Rolls (not really spicy), Salmon Avocado, and Avocado rolls. Getting my appetite back and it no longer hurts when I chew food. Even though I cannot breath through my nose, I do feel more alert for some reason. Took a clarithromycin(bioxin) antibiotic pill this morning and will be taking another one in 4 hours. CANNOT wait until Monday so that I can get all the snot sucked out of my nose.
One thing I did notice is that my sense of smell is amazing now. Even with this cloggy nose I can smell so well. Things are looking very good right now. There is no pain at all with my nose but I still took the extra strength Tylenol pills to prevent any onset of pain (just in case). What I found out was Halls cough pills help open up my nasal passages as well.
Will update you guys tomorrow on my recovery process!
