Posted under Septoplasty q&a

Has my septoplasty procedure failed? I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and have been experiencing drainage, crustiness, and blockage.

It's been 3 1/2 weeks post op and for the past week I've been experiencing a lot of drainage, Crustiness, blockage, and some slight wait around where the stitch was. It hurt slightly when I blow a little and one side is hard to breathe through and I took a flashlight and looked in my nose and it seems one side is closed/ very narrow.
