Nose infection after surgery
Common Questions and Answers about Nose infection after surgery
infection
10 and the doctor has more work to do inside than he had planned. But after the surgery, the doctor felt it was a success. However, I had complication after complication. This included bleeding, clot in the nose that had to be suctioned out and not to mention my continued ongoing sinus infections. The problem I have is that 2 months after the surgery, I have a foul smell that is coming from the nose. I just can't get rid of it even after all of the anitbiotics, sprays, oils I am on.
After having dcr surgery there was problems with the recovery after local anaesthetic. After 6 weeks it was decided to take tube out. Unfortunately it had to be tried without local anaesthetic. Thed opthalmologist was unable to remove tube. It was released from the eyelid. I have been told to blow my nose repeatedly and hope the tube comes down..Also he said I may have swallowed it. I feel I would know if it had gone down tghe back of the throat. Has anyone any experience of this situation.
My biggest complaint was resisting the urge to blow my nose the first week after surgery. The congestion from all of the debris/dried blood and mucous is terribly uncomfortable. My stents were removed the very next day after my surgery. I had a follow up appt. 10 days later. At that appointment, my doc told me to use a nasal irrigation bottle (Neil Med...found in any drug store) twice a day. It sounds bad but that thing was great...8 oz's of warm saline water shot up both notrils.
Hi all.
Im a 29 year old female and I have been recommended to undergo FESS and septoplasty. I am wondering if this seems reasonable based on the information below? Or should I get a second opinion? I would like my symptoms gone and am relieved to have finally had an ENT take me seriously but the surgery seems like a big deal. Thanks!

I've had a sinus infection for about 4 weeks now. After the second week I thought it had disapeared but i woke up one morning and it hit me like a truck. I feel very worn out, facial pressure, espically right under the eyes and around the nose. Within the past few days, I have not been able to breath out the left side of my nose. It feels plugged up and needing blown, but when I do blow my nose, nothing comes out.
Three years ago I had a surgery for intestinal obstruction. Everything was fine but after six months from surgery, a foul smell started emanating from my nose. I consulted the ENT and a surgery for sinusitis was performed but still the problem persisted. Again, after three months I consulted another ENT specialist and again a surgery was performed but even after this second nasal surgery, the foul smell didn't go away.
sounds like a fungal infection. antibiotics taken too many times for "ear infection" caused the fungus to grow. i understand the smell; it follows me like a dirty pair of diapers smell. i just found out last week, after researching for 2 years to find a name for this invasion into my head, that it is called Coccidioidomycosis. it is debilitating, and degenerative disease, that needs to be fought hard daily, to help alleviate its many symptoms and cycles.
and I always get that pungent odor when it needs debridement. Most of the time when the ENT looks with an endoscope after emptying my nose I have an active sinuse infection. My family does smell it. It is just so embarassing, and there is nothing I can do about it.
I would have the ENT look down your nose with an endoscope. That may give you a hint.
Good luck!
I had a LOT of bloody discharge after the surgery for close to two weeks, which the surgeons assured me was normal. Headaches went away a week after surgery but resumed, along with nose pain, after I started to sneeze about two weeks after surgery. I'm now almost three weeks out and sneeze (cannot stop it, no matter how much I try) 2-3 times a day.
you really need to see a doctor,,you could have ulcers in your nose/nares and possibly an infection brewing. The lining of your nares is a thin mucosa and very sensitive. snorting pills is abrasive to the lining. so its like scratching that skin each time you snort a pilland its eating the lining. You are at risk for a potentially serious infection in your sinuses,,,keep in mind that can spread,,,to your brain.
Sometime around last October, I developed an obsessive nose picking habit. It was so bad that it resulted in a nasal polyp that I had to have surgically removed. Even after the surgery, I couldn't stop picking my nose and I'm still doing it. My nose has mostly healed, but I still get a lot of crustiness which drives me crazy and makes me pick more. Now I have another bump toward the front of my nose.
from the e-collar she wore after surgery. The skin on the front of her neck had worn raw and had a Staph infection. They shaved that spot and treated it and sent me home with antibiotics and Benedryl for the itching. This morning, the old girl is already acting more like herself. Thanks again for your comments.
Hi there,
It is common to have some discomfort after surgery. A follow up visit is important after any surgery. In this visit the doctor will clean and examine the operative site. It is possible that there was packing left in your nose which is causing bad taste in mouth and nose. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. For more queries and assistance visit an ENT specialist. I hope it helps.
Best luck ad regards!
I had turbinate reduction surgery over a year and a half ago due to repeat sinus infections, stuffiness at night, trouble with nasal congestion. Things went beautifully after surgery and I had no infections, was able to breathe easily. During the past 3-4 months I have been having multiple sinus infections, constant nasal drainage, and at night when I lay down I am unable to breathe through my nose.
Not to detract from your situation though.. I once had a too runny nose also - then had surgery to staighten a deviated septum and open the nose some without removing turbinates. I was good for a few years, then started getting beat-up by the dryness condition. -But the point is I know where you're at, and it is annoying.
In my present condition, I see some improvement when eating - apparently because the salivary glands are stimulated and the nose-throat are better moisturized.
He also fixed my deviated septum and cleared out some polyps. After the surgery I had many complications and was unable to breathe out of my nose for quite some time. The doctor said it was due to my nasal passages being super sensitive (I couldn't even use a saline solution without them swelling up.) Also, my nose creates a mucus that is the consistancy of egg whites. Meanwhile, I have been able to breathe for about three weeks now, and off and on before that.
