Had Surgery For Deviated Septum, Concha Bullosa , Enlarged Turbinates, And Chronic Sinusitis. Breathing Issues Occured. Allergic Reactions, No Improvement With Zyrtec. Concerned, Advice?

I has surgery to correct a deviated septum , concha bullosa , enlarged turbinates, and chronic sinusitis a month ago. Before surgery I had recurring bouts of sinusitis lasting from a few weeks to a few months. Since surgery breathing though my nose has never been better. No complaints except that its still a bit crusty in there. My problem is I still have cold symptoms - clearing my throat a lot, nasal sounding voice, coughing, sneezing , and watery eyes occasionally. My ENT says that is not a normal reaction to the surgery and suspected allergies which he prescribed Zyrtec for but didn t work. I see him again in 2 days. I m getting concerned. Any ideas about what the problem might be and how to be healthy?

SEPTUM DOES NOT CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEM
SO AFTER SURGERY MANY CASES ARE UNSUCCESSFUL
YOUR SYMPTOMPS ARE OF ALLERGIES
GET ANTI ALLERGIC FEXOFENADINE 120 MG OD
APPLY NEOSPORIN H EYE OINTMENT IN NOSE BD
PUT SEA WATER DROPS IN EACH NOSTRI BD
GET ALLERGY TESTS DONE AND GO FOR DESENSITISATION THERAPY FOR PERMANENT CURE
