Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 I would also like to add that post-op sinus patients should not drink out of a straw until their follow up visit with the ENT. Little tid-bit I learned from our recent rash of sinus surgery patients at the hospital I work at some. Good luck and I hope everything goes well.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 Autumn, They will be doing biopsies - I know we are looking for fungal infection as he does not make a good antibody response to candida and these sinus infections never really clear. The PICC line is for IV antibiotics - also because his infection will not resolve regardless of the antibiotics chosen. His Peditrician refuses to throw any more antibiotics at him until we have cultures done. Matts other two docs - ENT and Immunolgist are in agreement. Thanks for the input. Matt uses ocean spray and I am sure it will continue. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
