Post-Operative Sinus Precautions:

  • Please do not blow your nose; use a Kleenex and just wipe if necessary.
  • If you feel as if you are going to sneeze, please sneeze with your mouth open.
  • Please do not use any straws, smoke, spit or vigorously rinse your mouth.
  • You have been given two additional prescriptions; and antibiotic and a nasal decongestant. Please take both of these medications as directed until you have completed the entire course of treatment.
