First of all, the patient has to make frequent nasal washes with saline solution and use moisturizing ointment intranasally. It is also important to keep his\/her head elevated with 1-2 pillows during sleep and avoid intense activities such as bending for the risk of bleeding.
\nDuring the first week, the patient can shampoo his\/her hair with the head backwards (like at the hairdresser\u2019s) and then he\/she may return to the normal way. Wearing glasses is allowed after 1.5 months.[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTVCYmFmZyUyMGlkJTNEJTIyNjA4OSUyMiU1RCUwOQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
