The first few weeks after surgery was hard. Several follow up appointments to look into sinus cavities to make sure everything was healing properly. After that, things started getting better. I have not had one sinus infection or sinus headache since then and surgery was September 7,2023 (1year ago, approximately). I do a Neil Med saline rinse or I use my Navage machine to do a saline rinse about 2X a week. I use Arm & Hammer Saline mist every morning and night to keep my nasal passage clear. I have had no residual issues.
