What Causes Burning Sensation In The Nostrils?
I had my first colonoscopy at 7:30 this morning. All went well except once in recovery my mouth and nose are extremely dry still. They did put the oxygen tubing in my nose for the procedure and I did feel slightly burn I ng immediately in the left nostril but fell under anesthesia quickly. Still no appetite. The extreme dryness makes eating difficult with not much saliva. I ve been drinking water as instructed by my doctor but I really don t think it s dehydration. I was fine before the procedure. Could it have been the oxygen tubing?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to side effects of the oxygen tubing.
I suggest using saline nasal spray for local application and drink a lot of liquids.
The symptoms will go away on its own in a few days.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
