I had a sinusl lift and bone graft procedure done 3 months ago. 4 days later I developed infection with severe yucky drainage going down my throat, bad smell iny nose and pain and pressure right above the graft.
There was an infected tooth that was extracted right prior to the lift and the graft.
I still have a sinus infection that has now become chronic and spread to all other sinuses. I have taken Levaquin, Augmentin, amoxicillin, and lastly doxycycline with little success.
My question is-since there was an infected tooth that was pulled and sinus lift performed righr after, was I supposed to placed on a course of antibiotics post op? I was not given a prescription for an antibacterial oral rinse or any antibiotics. Could the antibiotics taken right after surgery have prevented the infection?
Thank you!
