Day 4 Post Op - Absolutely Miserable & Can’t Breathe

I’m day 4 post septoplasty and turbinate reduction. I have followed the doctors post op instructions and the congestion and swelling just get worse. Each day is worse than the last. I can’t breathe. I can’t sleep. My ears are clogged with fluid now. I have intense pressure in my head. Swallowing is painful due the pressure on my ears. Eating is impossible. Drinking water is like water boarding myself. This is absolutely miserable and I regret this entire procedure. My doctor grossly minimized the after surgery expectations going as far as telling me that I’d be able to return to work Monday (yesterday).
