hi guys! i had a balloon sinuplasty + concha bullosa crushing + turbinate reduction on thursday the 29th. its honestly been pretty miserable for me as i havent been able to breathe out of my nose - at all. HOWEVER, today i felt tje left side loosen up just a bit after a sinus rinse and when i snorted in, a huge piece of mucous/old blood came out into my mouth before i coughed it up. it was HUGE.

sorry for the tmi, but taking that little breath in that nostril - i could almost cry i was so happy.

anyways, does anyone have any advice on how to unclog the other side? im assuming theres another giant mucous thing lodged there. i have a post op + cleaning appointment on friday, so i kno i should just wait for that, but mouth breathing is just so awful - sore throat, dry lips, etc etc.

also cant really smell anything - will that return?
