See below: It is not a good idea to operate on an infected site. It is likely to disseminate the infection. Please consult your doctor to see if you need a different antibiotic.

Sinuplasty: Balloon sinuplasty is indicated in the treatment of chronic sinusitis. Have you been treated for sinsusitis at all? Ask your surgeon if your diagnosis is chonric rhinosinusitis which is the only indication for balloon sinuplasty.
