Got a septoplasty done about a week ago, the odor in my nose is horrible. How long will it be like this?

I had a septoplasty done 6 days ago and got the stitches out today. I’ve had a horrible odor in my nose for the past 3 days and it seems to be getting worse. I thought when he took the stitches and packers out it would smell better but it’s way worse now. Is this bad? When will the smell go away?
