Side Effect from Sinus Surgery??

sunflower · Mar 10, 2008

Hi Aspiemom,

I had a lot of trouble with my sinus operation. I had operation in September and I could not taste, or swallow for over eight weeks. I had bleed out of my right nostril until January. This happened when I blew or wiped my nose. It has stopped now.
Smelling is strange, someone times I can smell things but other times I cannot.
I hope the weird feeling you have in your throat settles down for you soon. If not go and see your doctor.
I cannot do nasal rinsing anymore. I get a dreadful headache and a very strong pain across the bridge of my nose. The sinus pain has shifted since operation I get it across my nose and pain in my ear.
Hope all goes ok for you soon.

I've had 2 sinus surgeries. One about 12 years ago and the other 2 years ago. I experienced temporary loss of my sense of taste and smell, which was quite bothersome at first. It did come back gradually, but I seem more prone to "taste fatigue" now. (Taste fatigue is when you get tired of a certain taste that used to really be your favorite.)

My sense of taste remains a bit dampened, but I've found a couple good things about it: 1) My nastiest meds like Sporonox and Ceftaz which used to make me gag don't anymore. 2) I can tolerate a WHOLE LOT of that hot mustard at Chinese restaurants. Since we eat Chinese so often, I eat a spoonful of the mustard to keep my sinuses clear!

I hope your problems aren't permanent.

Sometimes when a doctor prescribes antibiotics to be taken following surgery, the development of oral thrush could be the real problem behind a loss of or change in the ability to taste foods. It's best to stay away from foods that are one temperature extreme or the other for a short period of time, just in case your tongue is tender from the thrush.
