Thick Green Mucus From Nose. Had Tonsillectomy And Adnoidectomy. Taken Mucinex. Suggest?
I had a tonsillectomy and adnoidectomy about a year ago and still I have thick green mucus that comes i guess from my sinuses almost everyday. Is that normal? When I talked to my doctor she said to take mucinex but nothing has changed. I use to always have sinus infections before the surgery now just the really thick green mucus.
Thick green discharge may mean infection
Chronic sinusitis and post-nasal discharge is likely.
CT scan of sinuses may be needed
A longer course of antibiotic / one covering anaerobic organisms / may help
Sinus surgery may be needed in some
Discuss with yor doctor
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
