Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
just under a week ago I underwent a sinus lift and placement of three implants. Three days after the operation I had an elevated temperature (37.5) for two days, but this has now gone. There is no swelling, although I still occasionally feel some kind of pain in the jaw. I do, however, feel an unusual flow of liquid and air between the nose and the throat, and occasionally there is a clear nasal discharge on the side of the operated jaw. Could this mean that a complication has occurred? What procedures follow?
Thank you and kind regards,
Nina
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Considering the time that has elapsed since the operation, we cannot speak of a complication. The procedure was carried out in an anatomical space that is directly connected with the nasal cavity and the nasal part of the pharynx via the inferior nasal concha. The initial healing processes are most often associated with the signs you describe, so for the time being no intervention is necessary.
Have a nice day!
