Sansa 39 Posted June 11, 2012 Infections seem to be a leading cause of problems with the surgery which led me to start looking at what kind of foods that I can eat that can help prevent infection. I have used raw garlic and echinacea tea for years to fight off sinus infections. I also like to eat raw ginger when my stomach is nauseous. However, a lot of people can't seem to eat spicy food following the surgery so I'm wondering if those spicy foods include garlic and ginger? I have also found out that drinking chamomile and goldenseal teas help fight infections. Honey is also supposed to be antiseptic, however, I imagine that it must be too sweet after the surgery? Has anyone else used natural foods and herbs following the surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
