Stinky smell like sweat socks when i breathe, its in the left side of my nose only. 20 days after sinus surgery. Should I worry?

2nd septoplastyJan 27, 2016
I had endoscopic sinus surgery, septoplasty and turbinate reduction. . extreme headache, dizziness, blurry vision, clear nonsmelly discharge from my vagina,i also have stomach pain. When i take antibiotics the last 10 years i get a yeast infection never this bad though. Went on Augmentin, didnt help at all. Now i have another antibiotic. The thing that has me worried is the new med, he has me taking says side effects are the same as what i already am experiencing! Doc took cultures today

Septoplasty can be performed with balloon sinuplasty for chronic sinusitis and correcting a deviated septum. If its done in the office, it'll be very limited and the septoplasty will likely only target the bone spur.

Dear frankierocco3, It is always best to follow up with your operating surgeon if you accidentally disrupt sutures after surgery. They can do an in person exam to make sure no damage was done to the procedure site. Good luck!

It is ideal to avoid any degree of trauma or force, such as pressure, to the nose for at least 2 weeks after surgery.
