I wasn't sure where to post this topic, so I will try in facial issues.
Has anyone experienced dry nose after surgery? Is it somehow associated with facial nerve weakness?
To be specific, I notice that my right (AN side) nostril is very dry, especially at nights. To make things worse, and more complicated, I also suffer from allergic rhinitis, with runny nose being the main symptom especially in the mornings, meaning that I use a nasal spray on a regular basis. I am afraid that the nasal spray compounds the dry nostril problem. To summarize my symptoms are: Runny nose in the morning, obviously due to the allergy. But very dry and "stuffed" nose, especially at night, which often results in minor bleeding. I do have severely dry eye as well, with lack of tears after my surgery. So I am thinking that these two may be somehow related. Any ideas? Tips on how to deal with this?
