TERRIBLE pain after rhinoplasty.

Asked By:anonymouspatientinfo01 in Beverly Hills, CA

I am 3 weeks postop. Rhino included hump removal alar base reduction narrowing bone and tip and septoplasy. Recovery went great until day 11. I get this sharp throbbing pressure on 1 side of my nose ONLY that goes down to my front teeth. It's one of the WORST pains I've ever felt. Sometimes there's slight clicking sounds. It last for anywhere between 30 secs to 5 mins and I get it about 10x/day. On antibiotics and have a cream inside the nose that isn't helping. Is this normal? Will this pass?
