It has been 4 weeks since I had sinus surgery and a septoplasty. I have been doing nasal rinses with neilmed 4 times a day and am still on flixonase nasule drops. In the past few days I have been getting bad headaches behind eyes and pain when bending over along with yellow discharge down back of my throat. I dont think its infected as have no other symptoms such as bad smell or fever. Is this normal? Is it likely to be infection? Should I still be getting sinus headaches now? Thanks
My eyes are always infected. I cant use drops bcz my eyes are very sensitive. Above my nose inbetween my eyebrows it feels tight, and pulls. When I breath inwards through my nose my right eye exceeds water. could I have damage to my nasolacrimal duct could it have moved? or have nerve or muscle or tissue damage/inflammation? If so how long will it be before I recover, is there anything that can be done? My ENT surgeon has discharged me.
I have had two recent Sinus surgeries/septoplasty. I had a post op SSI after the first surgery in Jan 2014. I had another surgery in 2015 for recirculation. I have continued to have infections in my nose and am constantly on antibiotics. My nasal bone is very tender and appears bruised, red or even broken. Can the infection be in that part of my nose? Can it be repaired? Thank you!
Had a revision septoplasty with rib cartilage and fascia graft - 6 weeks post op - and now have bump on bridge of my nose that goes red - contacted surgeons office - surgeon is at a conference - she suggested seeing my gp if im concerned about infection, is this a good idea or should i just wait till next week to see him, the redness comes and goes - the hump over the bridge (which wasn't there pre-op) remains. It appeared after 5 weeks. it also feels hard - thoughts?
I had septoplasty & turbinate reduction surgery done 2 weeks ago. I had splints in my nose for a week, which were removed about a week ago. My concern is that my right nostril is basically great. It is generally clear and when I use the saline rinse, it always runs clear. My left nostril is a different story. I have to use the neti pot approx every 2-3 hours to remove the blockage and consistently get a lot of green and/or bloody mucous out. Should I be worried about infection?
I went to my family doctor and told me today that i had an infection in my nose, caused by smoking, did i ruin the whole operation by continued smoking? Do i need an other operation? My nose still hurts when i touch it and right now i have a very bad taste in my mouth, it's all going down from my nose, from the hospital they did tell me to stop smoking but i smoked anyway cause i thought it wouldn't be effected much, i don't know what i was thinking
Hi I had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction 4 weeks ago and he septum wall on my right hand side appears swollen compared to the left, which has much more space to breathe. I suffered a bleed last week which stopped after I pinched it for a bit. I saw my GP who looked up it with her torch but said it does not appear swollen but infected due to some white discharge on the septum. I've not gone back to work yet as I am concerned about further infection. Any advice would be great. Thanks
I had a septoplasty surgery 6 months ago and a bad smell started coming off my nose as of 2 months ago. some infection diagnosed by my surgeon and I went on penicillin for a period of 8 days with no result. another course of penicillin prescribed but the smell came back at the end of period. there is a few bleeding in my left nasal whenever the smell starts. it goes worse whenever I get a bath. rinsing with saline water also doesn't help. please advise what I can do to get rid of the smell?
