Dutch term or phrase: afslinken

congestieve concha media, na afslinken heeft patient minder pijn. ( I am wondering whether this refers to "trimming".......does this come from the verb "afslanken"?

Thanks

reducing the swelling

Explanation:
I guess this word is related to "afslanken", perhaps in the same way as liggen/leggen, zitten/zetten, drinken/drenken ...

De verdoving en het afslinken
Van binnen is de neus gevoelig en soms nauw,
zodat het slijmvlies van de neus eerst moet worden
verdoofd en afgeslonken.

Beiderzijds: Afslinken neusholten met cocaïne 7% oplossing.
De concha media wordt gemedianiseerd. Inspectie middelste neusgangen: beide zijn van voor
naar achteren gevuld met grote poliepen en pus.
