The primary purpose of the study is to determine adequacy of postoperative pain control after
nasal surgery in patients prescribed Acetaminophen (325mg) + Hydrocodone (5mg) compared to
Acetaminophen(325mg) + Ibuprofen (200mg)for a period of 5 days after nasal surgery. To assess
the degree of pain, the participants will score the intensity of their pain on a visual
analog scale(VAS)of 0-100points (0- no pain and 100- most severe pain), preoperatively and
postoperatively (to be documented before each dose) for the duration of the prescribed
medications .
Additionally, the study will also seek to track:
1. The total number of pills each patients consume from the prescribed 5 day regimen.
2. Any associated side effects.
3. Additional pain medications prescribed in case of inadequate pain control,
postoperatively.
