Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Trauma to nose itself could lead to nasal block due to development of edema of nasal mucosa.

Wound suturing may not be the cause for nasal block.

Nothing to worry. It takes few days for the edema to subside.

Once edema subsides the block might clear.


I recommend xylometazoline nasal drops for nasal block relief. Don't use this drops continuously for more than 6 days.

He will be fine.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.

Wish him a good health and speedy recovery.
Regards,
