Following turbinate reduction surgery, patients must strictly avoid blowing their nose forcefully, engaging in heavy lifting, or performing strenuous cardiovascular exercise for at least one to two weeks to prevent sudden spikes in blood pressure that can trigger severe postoperative hemorrhaging. Individuals should also refrain from pulling clothing over their heads, picking at internal nasal crusts, consuming hot liquids or spicy foods that dilate blood vessels, and using over-the-counter medicated decongestant sprays without explicit physician approval.
