I had sinus surgery (FESS, turbinates, deviated septum) done 8 days ago. I'm a healhy 54 yr old female. Stints came out 2 days ago. I am still having to mouth breathe at night, due to the congestion. Is that normal? (using a cool mist humidifier in bedroom) Having some bloody discharge, back of throat; can't blow nose to discharge because it is too sensitive and too congested. Using saline spray frequently during the day. How long should I expect this to continue? And how long before I can taste/smell again? I actually feel worse than before surgery, but expect that that is normal and will improve.
