Stay on top of your pain medication schedule; recovery can be painful, so it important to keep the pain managed.
If you have a difficult time tolerating some of the pain medications, talk with the pharmacists about ways to prevent an upset stomach. Also, have a way to contact your physician quickly in case it is necessary to try a different medication.
Have someone to help you for at least several days after the surgery.
Ask your doctor about aftercare, including irrigating your sinuses regularly after the procedure to help them heal.
