I had sinus surgery in May. Turbinate reduction and a balloonoplasty for chronic sinus infections. Things were progressing well until I got a strong head cold a month ago. I ve had constant drainage since that time. Went in for my routine follow up a day ago and the ENT looked rather surprised when they saw how inflamed my left Maxillary was. I also had inflammation above both eyes but no pus. Put me on prednisone, singulair, and Flonase while we wait for the lab results. Now I have facial pain and pain on both sides of the nose. Does that medicine regimen indicate my ENT is pretty concerned about the swelling or is this routine?
