I had a septoplasty and inferior turbinoplasty many years ago, and had to rinse my sinuses every few hours to keep the wounds clean. I’d recommend Flonase sinus rinse, as some others in this thread have. The kits are pretty cheap, and the salt mix they provide is dosed so it’s much less harsh than table salt and won’t irritate or dry out mucous membranes in your nose. Using table salt for this purpose like some others are suggesting here is madness! Even before my surgery it hurt like hell, trying that.

I’d also recommend talking to an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist in case there’s something wrong that can be corrected, like enlarged turbinates. That was my issue - blood was pooling in the tissue when I lay on my side due to gravity and low blood pressure - hence the turbinoplasty. It was better for a bit, but did come back over time; dunno if this is normal, if they grew back, if the surgery didn’t work, or if the doctor was just wrong 🤷
