How long to get over sinus enlargement surgery?

Posted by phxbarb @phxbarb, Oct 1 9:35pm

It has been one week and 1 day. I am doing the nasal irrigation 3x a day. I am still having bloody drainage in my throat and headache. I am taking a lot of Tylenol and gave up the Percocet so I can drive. I go back to doctor in a week and am wondering when this will subside. I do feel it has opened my breathing ability on one side. How long before I feel ok again?

@phxbarb once and done ! That’s hopeful . I’ve had it done 3 times 5 years apart because I have polyps too . My sinus cavities basically close up . Last time I went in I was clean and clear because I’d had been faithfully rinsing every morning and afternoon but also maybe something to do with hormone changes I had no polyps … who knows ! Take care

Agree the sinus irrigation is important when have sinus issues. I live in a high pollen area so helps clean sinuses as well as reducing inflammation. ENT said the inflammation is what causes the polyps to form.
