Only one day post op, severe mucous...



Recommended Posts

I had surgery yesterday and I'm on liquids today. I'm struggling with mucous...tons of it. My sinuses are draining, coughing up phlemn, and still have a decent bit of cotton mouth from the anesthesia. I'm thinking all the mucous may be due in part of the 2 oz f Protein Shake I've had about 3 times so far today. It's gross, but I've had to spit what I can into a cup or on a Kleenex, because when I swallow it is makes too fool to even drink Water. Has anyone ever had this problem?

I had a weird mucous thing happen after my first fill. Not too extreme, but like a post nasal drip thing. Drove me crazy for a week. But it didn't happen after my second fill. Weird. I wasn't sick or sneezing with allergies or anything. Never figured out what it was, but it was gone after several days.

Yeah JustWatchMe, this is really weird. The mucus and what seems to be air or a bubble is causing me to not be able to get anything down. I've waited about 2 hours now, and I'm trying to get some Jello down, but its going super slow. I feel like I need to burp, but if I do; it may be more than a burp. I used a Gas X strip and it helped a little but it still feels like there is a bubble. I will let it go for tonight, but if it is persistent, I'll be contacting my Doc, because I don't want to become dehydrated.
