could this problem be a result vitamin deficiency?
about 2 weeks after surgery I started with a constant runny nose, drip, drip, drip. Not sick, no cold, no problems. Allergy meds, antibiotcs did nothing. Now almost 3 months out, ....
I am posting here at my husbands request. Could it be some nutritional, vitamin need? I get my first blood work up next week.
Any thoughts on this?

I don't know of any vitamin deficiency that would cause a runny nose. Many deficiencies can suppress your immune system, causing you to get sick easily. But they wouldn't just make your nose run. It's probably something like allergies, a cold, a sinus infection, etc. I'd see your PCP about it.

Then I guess I'd ask your PCP who you should see that might know. Maybe a ENT specialist or something.

Hmm...does it happen all the time or only when you are eating? Do you have a history of reflux/GERD?
If it does happen while eating, do you notice it more with certain foods or temperatures?
It is probably innocuous and most likely not related to surgery, but I'm not a MD. If you're worried about it I think an ENT visit is in order.

Mmmm...salty!After surgery, certain things make my head all congested, with a runny nose. Never happened before. If I eat a little too much, and . . . certain physical activities. Very strange, and definitely related to surgery.
