Clear fluid dripping after sinus surgery. Is this normal?

lauranne
I had sinus surgery 6 days ago. On day 5 I began having clear discharge from my nose at a near constant. I went to my dr and he does not think it's CSF fluid and said that it is the turbinates secreting from being shaved down. Is this normal? I'm still worried
