Itâs easy to rupture the small blood vessels in your nose, especially when itâs dry out. A deviated septum, or a shifted wall in your nose, is a common cause of both symptoms. Along with headaches and nosebleeds, a deviated septum can cause blockage in one or both nostrils, facial pain, and noisy breathing during sleep.
Tumescent anesthesia is when the surgeon injects fluid containing lidocaine (which is like the medication you get injected at the dentist) and epinephrine (which is like adrenaline) which helps constrict the blood vessels.
Swelling (medical) In medical parlance, swelling, turgescence or tumefaction is a transient abnormal enlargement of a body part or area not caused by proliferation of cells. It is caused by accumulation of fluid in tissues. It can occur throughout the body (generalized), or a specific part or organ can be affected (localized). Swelling is usually not dangerous and is a common reaction to a inflammation or a bruise. Swelling is considered one of the five characteristics of inflammation; along with pain, heat, redness, and loss of function.
