Bleeding 9 Days After Rhinoplasty

7132anon
I am 9 days post op, and today i felt a little wetness in my nose and i thought it was phlegm. I used my q-tip to try to clean it, and I noticed it was blood. It's not dripping but I can feel it right under the tip inside my nostril. Is this normal?? What could be the cause and what is the remedy?
