  7. I HAD SINUS SURGERY (FESS)...

I had sinus surgery (FESS) 8 weeks ago after almost 2 years of facial and upper teeth pain.

April 27, 2017
Asked By:catx2014 in California, CA

My left maxillary was completely blocked with chronic congestion and vascular congestion in the biopsy; my right side was only open by a pin hole. My teeth are still aching and I can still feel sinus congestion. I have been seen by multiple dentists that have all confirmed there isn't a dental cause. Could I still need more time to heal? My ENT doesn't do debridements. Is that ok?

Submucous resection of bilateral inferior turbinates with bilateral anterior/posterior ethmoidectomies with maxillary antrostomi
Mark Loury, MD, FACS (retired) says:

I'm sorry to hear that you're still having problems. It's unusual to have a sense of dryness given where you live. Considerations are low grade nasal infection, too much saline rinsing, nasal sprays, or excessive turbinate reduction although that's less likely with a sub mucous resection.  ...

How to tell if the my nose drainage is normal mucous and CSF leakage after sinus operation?
Edward J. Gross, MD says:

We are often asked if fluid draining form the nose after Rhinoplasty is 'brain fluid'. It is not. The nose discharges copious amounts of clear mucous after surgery and this is often confused with CSF. The causes are multiple: normal draining of the tear ducts, packing placement and removal,...
