The recovery time after sinusitis surgery varies individually depending on the surgical site, the number of sinuses operated on, and the patient’s physical condition.
In general, sinusitis surgery needs to be combined with medication to achieve effective control of sinusitis. The recovery time after surgery for simple chronic sinusitis is about 3 months, its because the whole process of mucosal epithelialization usually takes 3 months; the recovery time for sinusitis with severe infection, special bacterial infection is longer, usually 3-6 months or more; the recovery time for sinusitis with nasal polyps is longer, even requiring lifelong medication.
In addition, it should be noted that patients need to undergo regular treatment under the guidance of their doctors, and they need to have regular checkups and medication changes after surgery, and continuous medication to avoid recurrence. In case of minor recurrence or small recurrence of nasal polyps, local cleaning treatment is available.
