I pulled off my old burnt skin (from inside my nose) after 1 week.
If I have a cauterization what should I do after the proceedure?
That's Silver Nitrate, which is the chemical used to cauterize the blood vessel. I've had two nose cauterization done recently due to nosebleeds, and both times a bit of silver nitrate gone onto my skin right outside my nostril. Initially I was worried that I might not be able to get it off, but after about 2 1/2 days, I see that it was flecking off a bit when I rubbed it, and so I lightly scratched it, and the brown spots came off! ^-^
It is normal to experience a temporary smell after cauterization, as it can sometimes cause a burning odor. This is typically due to the tissue being sealed using heat during the procedure. If you are concerned or if the smell persists, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
a discription of a cauterization is treating tissue with heat.
no but they might fly around it
Injudicious cauterization of both sides of the septum causes a perforated septum when death of nose tissue occurs.
"They couldn't staunch the bleeding, so cauterization was necessary to seal the wound."
No, your eyes shouldn't be effected during or after nasal cauterization.
i will kill it!
Yes, swelling of the eyes can occur as a reaction to nasal cauterization with silver nitrate. This can happen if the fumes or solution come in contact with the eyes during the procedure. It is important to seek medical attention if this occurs.
if its external, with a pain relieving antiseptic, if internal cauterization, youd need NSAID
