[|Human|] Hello, I have had cervical fusion (C5-C7) with human cadaver bone graft this past December. I have had difficulty breathing through my nose along with more than usual phlegm. A massage therapist recently told me that the surgery I had on my neck and the sinus problems afterwards are very common.Is there anything else that can be done aside from using a nasal spray 2-3 times a day?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question you need to consult a Pulmonologist who can assess by requesting a chest X-ray or an X-ray of sinuses to rule out any other cause steam inhalation 2-4 times per day will help you a lotleukotreine inhibitors like montelukast may be considered depending on your physician if phlegm or nasal secretions are yellow purulent or foul smelling, antibiotics may be needed thanks feel free to ask more questions
