Why Having Night Sweats After Surgery For Turbinate Reduction, Ear Tubes And Sinus Clean Up?

Two weeks ago, I had surgery for turbinate reduction, septoplasty, ear tubes, and sinus cleanup. I have been experiencing night sweats for about 10 days now. I just finished avelox for infection. Are the night sweats related to the new breathing pattern I finally have?

Hi. The night sweats can be due an infection which has not responded fully to the previous antibiotics. I would suggest to for for another course of an antibiotic and consult your operating Surgeon. You may have to go for some blood tests to rule out infection.
