Two weeks ago I had non-ballon sinus surgery plus removal of tonsils and my uvula.  I am 68 years old.  I have so many infections,plus I was addicted to a nasal spray for 20 years. To make matters worse I got planters wort medicine mixed up with Army issued nose drops So I have a hole in my septum.  I also do not have frontal sinuses.  So right now my mouth, throat, teeth and gums feel like they are on fire. I  have lost 6 pounds, very hard to eat.  I do not regret getting the surgery done, none of it.  I just wish I had it done sooner.  It has been painful more than I can remember my knee revision and torn rotator surgery being.  Make sure your doctor is highly recommended.  There are some ENTs out there that shouldn't be practicing Interesting word for a doctor.
