After a routine uncomplicated FESS, you should be able to work from home after a week. Usually you will need a few nasal cleanings maybe once a week for a few weeks and you should be ok.

20 days would be required for your complete recovery but your online work can be started it after five days.
But the postop recovery period Will depend on the surgeon who is operating as it differs from Surgeon to Surgeon.
Next Steps
Get it confirmed from the surgeon who is operating you.

You can start working after 3 to 5 days after the nasal packing is removed. Only you need to take medicine on time.
