What Causes Pain And Burning Sensation In Nose After A Cauterization?

My daughter had a cauterization in her right nostril done this morning. We saw a new ENT for nosebleeds. She has some pain/burning in her nose and has not stopped sneezing. i read that she should not blow her nose but there is substantial mucus. What can I do for her to make her more comfortable? The Dr asked to see her back in three weeks and didn t really give me after care instructions except to say to saline her during the day and Vaseline at night. I didn t think to ask as my daughter and I were both caught off guard with the unexpected procedure.
