Have a question about Sinus Surgery?

Confusions after FESS. How should I be doing aftercare?

Hello there! So I've received Endoscopic sinus surgery for nasal polyps 10 days ago now. There was not a single instruction from my surgeon / treating doctor upon my release from the hospital the day after surgery. I have done 2 endoscopic cleaning after the surgery & told to meet the doctor again in 3 months. My doctor told me that my Culture report has not arrived & when it will, she will prescribe medicine over email. (I've come in a foreign country for this specific medical treatment). Now I am on salaine wash 5 times a day until 3rd week of surgery then 3 times a day after that for 2 months. the only medicine I am taking back with me is Fluticasone Nasal Spray IP until I come back for revisit at 3 months mark. The issues I am facing after the endoscopic cleaning are as follows- 1. Very bad smell of dried cough in nose. 2. Left side nose water discharge right after nasal wash but no visible discharge from right nose. Rather it comes down my throat everytime I lie-down after wash that I have  to cough-out then. 3. Right side nose feels more stuffed compared to the left one all this time, but not blocked. 4. Green mucus discharge from left nose, & feeling of it stuck in the right. Which made me think of it as the reason of bad smell.5. Reports of snoring by the wife. I have no history of snoring problems. Although I am feeling a tiny bit better every day, these issues got me surrounded. I hope these are all normal since I have no way to contact my dr. before 3 months. Thank you for reading such a long post.
