Should I Take Any Antibiotics As Recently Taken For Sinus Surgery For Heavy Mucous?

My nose and mucus when I blow smells like popcorn mixed with Cheetos. I also have a rattle in the upper part of my chest when I breathe in and out, but not all the time. I had sinus surgery on Nov 6th and had my last antibiotic dose on 12/12. Should I go to urgent care or try to see my ENT tomorrow?

hello

i would like you to meet your ent doctor , as you may not actually be having an infection and may just be having an allergy , for which antibiotics are not required. Please avoid self medication, as it can be risky.

Take care!
