Bloody mucus everyday since rhinoplasty 2 years ago, not sure what to do?

Mmm1503Sep 14, 2024

When I blow the dried bloody mucus out, it triggers it to start bleeding again (not gushing, but bleeding enough inside the nose canals). I’m not quite sure what to do, and my doctor isn’t easy to get in touch with nor did he think it was a big deal when I brought it up to him a few months after the surgery.
