Are sinus rinses acceptable after sinus surgery?
Sinus rinses with saline are a good idea during the first month after endoscopic sinus surgery. However, the first week after surgery, it is almost impossible to get any saline in the nose because the nasal passageways are so swollen. Begin irrigating the nose three to four times a day starting at one week, progressing onto the fourth week after the endoscopic sinus surgery.
