As the day went on I became lethargic and felt lots of pains and discomfort.Last night, 1 day post op 24 hrs ago I had a temperature of 102 that went down after hydrocodone I have had no appetite since the surgery. . About 24 hrs ago I had a temperature of 102 that went down after hydrocodone. This morning I had a low temp of 97, and later an elevated temp of 99 I am experiencing some minor pain in my stomach as well as very low energy and tenderness in the back of my neck/jaw below my ear. Should any of this concern me ? never mind I thought this was a free service

FESS(Functional endoscopic sinus surgery) usually does not cause severe postoperative sinus pain. After the procedure, it is important to keep the nose as free from crust build-up as possible. To achieve this, the surgeon may perform a lengthy cleaning two to three times per week or the patient may perform a simple nasal douching several times a day. Normal function usually reappears after one or two months. In patients with severe sinusitis or polyps, a short course of systemic steroids combined with antibiotics may quicken recovery.(thanks)
