What to do if you have yellow runny nose after surgery for left maxillary sinusitis

Left maxillary sinusitis yellow runny nose after surgery may be related to acute sinusitis, sinus mouth adhesion, foreign body retention in the operation area, etc. According to the cause of the disease and the degree of the disease, we need to choose the general treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment.
1. Acute sinusitis: When acute left maxillary sinusitis occurs due to surgical stress reaction, poor rest and lowered resistance and other factors, the patient may have the above symptoms. It needs to be actively treated with antibiotics such as amoxicillin clavulanate potassium and cefuroxime, glucocorticosteroids such as nasal spray budesonide nasal spray, and mucus promoters such as eucalyptus-pin orally.
2. Adhesion of sinus opening: during the healing process of postoperative wound, tissue edema leads to adhesion and blockage of sinus opening, secretion is trapped in the sinus cavity, and secondary infection appears as yellow runny nose after operation. On the basis of the above treatment, nasal vasoconstrictor such as hydroxymetazoline can be sprayed for a short period of time, and at the same time, the nasal cavity can be changed to remove the edematous follicles, separate the adherent tissues, and fill in the blockage with biodegradable materials, and regular follow-ups can be carried out.
3. Retention of foreign body in the operation area: Because of the retention of gauze or tampon in the operation area during the operation, acute infection may be triggered, resulting in yellow runny nose after surgery for left maxillary sinusitis. During postoperative dressing change, the foreign body can be found and removed. Rinse the operative area with antibiotic and glucocorticoid solutions and intensify anti-infective treatment as described above.
When yellow runny nose after surgery for left maxillary sinusitis occurs, it is necessary to actively seek medical treatment, systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis, and standardized treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
