MEDiscuss • ENT Diseases • Nasal Packing

Had Laryngitis 23 Feb for 5 days. My voice returned but have had a sore throat and minor headaches since. Have been taking paracetamol & strepsils.

Tues 22 March had two nosebleeds. 1st 40 mins, 2nd four hrs later only 12 mins. Then Thurs 24th woke at 6:30am and uber nosebleed began immediately and did not stop. Went to A&E they couldnt stop it so was admitted to Ward. Cautery failed so had nose packed for 24 hours. Removed at 10am Fri 25.3. 3rd attempt at cautery finally wrk and I was discharged at 3pm with antibiotic cream and told to take it easy for 2 weeks.

Packing was incredibly painful and cautery bloomin unpleasant. It is now Sunday. I still have headache and feel bloomin rough.

Am I being a big baby or is it right to feel this rough?

I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good, either.

Nasal packing can be a very unpleasant experience. Cautery too, with it's unpleasant smell. It is very much feel rough when sailing like this...
