Day 2 of post-op I cleaned my nose with hydrogen peroxide and a Q-tip. I cleaned around the rim of the nose inside and out very lightly. 30 minutes later my nose started to bleed in little drops running out of my nose. I was unable to get the bleeding to stop overnight although it slowed down significantly. I woke up this morning to a crust filled nose and a good amount of pressure towards the bridge of my nose. Did I cause a preferation ???
