Firstly, I speak to my surgeon every couple of days, saw her only 3 days ago, and additionally send her photos nearly daily - I'm a worry wort, I admit. Have been on Biaxin 9 days, am allergic to Ceclor. 1st rhinoplasty, no implants, cartilage is from my own septum. Have foul smell, sore achy nose, and now that casts are off (just taping each night), I can finally see how red the tip is. It all worries me. What should I do? Is this normal? Should things start getting better soon?

Recommend no manipulation of your nose and see your surgeon for evaluation. There are a number of procedures that can be performed on the nose which may include cartilage grafting which may feel mobile if is placed at the nasolabial angle.
