just wondering if it’s ok to blow your nose after a trab ( I’ve had one in each eye) I’ve got a nasty flu been needing to blow my nose a lot . Just wondering if this upsets the trab at all? as I know after the operation u couldn’t blow up balloons/ sneeze which sneezing is very hard not to do ( also been sneezing) I’m 1 year almost post trabs )

Hello. It has been a year and I can't see any reason for not blowing your nose and no it shouldn't interfere with your trabs. I hope you start to feel better soon.
