dd is going to E.N.T for a camera up her nose tomorrow

[wonderingwendy]

she has been suffering for a few years with constant thick mucous coming out of her mouth ,blocked nose sneezing and now nose bleeds where she will get a blood clot come out of her mouth either after a nose bleed or sometimes without a nosebleed,this is why the gp is sending her for a camera up her nose - im scared for her ,what to expect ?
do i tell her about the numbing nose spray as this itself can panic you as it feels like you cant breath (from experience)
will it hurt too much without ?

she is 11 btw

Tough one...poor old dd, hope they find solution fast.

When I had a camera up my nose, it was utterly painless - but I had the numbing spray. In my case, it didn't make me feel anything at all, it was fine (and I'm a bit phobic about not being able to breathe) so maybe your experience was an individual one? I would just go with the spray, but tell her to breathe through her mouth and try to relax...easy to say, of course.

Good luck, hope it goes well

thankelibean will let you know how it goes

bump for more info

so they decided to do it under a G.A as it may need cauterizing

GA probably be easier

When is it happening?

we have got to wait for a date - im so relieved -if it were me id want to be asleep
