Asked By:fredcab in Cuenca, 02

I got a Rhinoplasty OP 4 days ago ad I’m starting to notice a pink small ball looking thing in my left nostril. I been cleaning my nostrils with hydrogen peroxide with a cotton swab on both nostrils. I also notice that the side with the pink looking ball leaks a bit more than the other one, the leakage is not mucus but more watery and yellow. What can it be?
