Thick yellow post nasal drip, why?

I had FESS, and yes, the doctor said that if I got another sinus infection, it could likely easily be treated by using a nasal wash with antibiotics in it.
I tried nasal washes with budesonide and mupirocin (or occasionally another antibiotic that starts with c) for seven month and felt no relief.
I’ve had post nasal drip in the past when I was sick. No other airway alterations.
The PRP injections will go in up high in the smell receptor area.

If the ENT is willing to give you PRP injections, I would ask for one last check and confirmation of things;
Ask if your maxillary antrostomy’s are connected to the natural maxillary ostium.
These surgeries can really mess up mucociliary clearance on people, and many ENTs aren’t equipt, nor do they want to assist in sorting through things when started by another ENT.
Orginal ENT surgeons often don’t like admitting their technique is sub-par.
CTs are a snap shot in time and change daily as do the sinuses.
If you have not seen someone whom specifically specializes in revisions, meaning they know what to look for, weather you would need one or not, it’s important that someone outside of the regular community ENT sector can help.
You shouldn’t be feeling sick everyday.
Sorry-I don’t feel that these surgeries help that many people. To those that they do, great. But many people worse off due to poor judgment on ENT side of when/why to recommend surgery for someone.
