Blood in Mucus 2 Weeks Post-Op Rhino, Should I be Worried?

August 10, 2013
Asked By:needfixing

I had revision (closed) rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago - replaced my old goretex implant with a new one. I "snorted" mucus (clear) from my nose that had blood in it. I did it about 6 times.. each time the amount of blood was less. There is no blood in my nose when I clean it with a q-tip wet with purified water. Is this anything to be worried about? If not, how long will this persist. That said, I have been having a slight sore throat the last new days. Is this related?
