I Am 5 Days Post Op for my Rhinoplasty and I Feel Like I'm Drowning?

July 17, 2013
Asked By:pokerldy

I am 5 days post op for my rhinoplasty. My right side is still bleeding - not profously, but a small steady stream.....like a constant drip. My concern is the amounts of fluids in the back of my throat. It is difficult to talk and/or swallow due this fluid in the back of my throat. I already have anxiety issues and have had trouble swallowing in general even prior to this surgery, so I'm not sure if this is just a normal recovery. Please help ease my mind.
