I'm a bit concerned because it's been about two weeks since I had sinus surgery, and I'm still not seeing much improvement in my symptoms. Is it normal to still be feeling this way? How much longer might it take before I start to feel better?
Condition persisting for 2 weeks after sinus surgery is not uncommon. Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions carefully. To help with the recovery process, you can take pain medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain, and use saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. If you experience any worsening symptoms or concerns, it is important to follow up with your surgeon for further evaluation.

I've noticed that sometimes when I bend my neck or look down, water suddenly comes out through my nose. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if this could be something serious. Is this something I should be worried about?
You may be experiencing a condition called cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, where cerebrospinal fluid leaks through the nose. This can be caused by a skull base fracture or a tear in the membrane surrounding the brain. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. Medications such as acetazolamide and gabapentin may be prescribed to reduce the production of cerebrospinal fluid.
