post sinus surgery - cough
by estern, Sep 14, 2007 03:46AM
I had 3 procedures two weeks ago - septoplasty, radio frequency turbinate reduction, and endoscopic sinus surgery. Things are healing nicely, and I'm using the sinus wash regularly as directed. I'm also noticing that a lot of dried green and black stuff is coming up through my nose. Last night I was sleeping when I suddenly awoke coughing, like I'd inhaled something. Have I inhaled some of the dried residue? My lungs are trying to expel something and yet I can't. The coughing is quite persistent. Please advise.

A dietician suggested quitting dairy. IT WORKED! I still will cheat with some milk or yogurt once in a while, but the main culprit was cheese. My husband also quit dairy and his severe vertigo stopped.
