I would like to know about the treatment plan.

Your son will undergo an endoscopic surgery called septoplasty to correct a deviated nasal septum. It's helpful to ease congestion, problems with breathing, or nasal discharge. The surgery is performed through the nostrils. During the procedure, parts of the septum may be removed. It is an internal surgery, so scars are not visible.

Your son will undergo an endoscopic surgery called septoplasty to correct a deviated nasal septum. It's helpful for easing congestion, problems with breathing, or nasal discharge. The surgery is performed through the nostrils. During the procedure, parts of the septum may be removed. It's an internal surgery, so scars are not visible.

1. You can either say "It's helpful FOR easing" or "It helps ease" to refer to the purpose of that surgery. The sentence "It's helpful to ease congestion" has a different meaning. It means "Easing congestion is helpful."

Thank you for explaining the treatment plan. It's reassuring to know that the surgery is performed internally, minimizing any visible scars. How long is the recovery period expected to be for this type of surgery, and are there any specific post-operative care measures that need to be taken to ensure a smooth recovery?

The recovery timeline takes about one week or less, and overall healing of the bone and cartilage will take several months to one year. To recover quickly and comfortably, here are general instructions. You can resume light activities after one week but avoid extreme physical activity for one month. We will place gauze inside your nose after the procedure. You should leave this in place for three days and avoid the gauze wet in the shower. Take antibiotics for the course your provider tells you. After removing the gauze, never forcefully remove clusters of boogers inside or around your nose.

To recover quickly and comfortably, here are general instructions. You can resume light activities after one week but avoid extreme physical activity for one month. We will place gauze inside your nose after the procedure. You should leave this in place for three days and avoid getting the gauze wet in the shower. Take antibiotics for the course your provider tells you. After removing the gauze, never forcefully remove clusters of mucus inside or around your nose.

1. You can also say, "Avoid strenuous activity."
2. While "boogers" is a colloquial term, using "mucus" is more formal and appropriate in a medical context. This change maintains professionalism and clarity in the communication of post-surgical care instructions.

That recovery timeline seems manageable, especially considering the gradual healing process. Could you provide more details about what signs of progress or potential complications we should look out for during the different stages of recovery?

Rarely do septoplasty complications happen, but there are potential ones, such as excessive bleeding or infection. Although it isn't visible, scarring remains inside your nose. You might feel numbness in your nose or teeth temporarily. The first month after the procedure, you will experience huge nasal mucus, often as big as a red kidney bean or garbanzo. That makes you feel uncomfortable and drives you to remove it by yourself. However, never do it.

1. Using "may" is a better choice to refer to a possibility.
