Asked By:abbymcneil1997 in Dothan, AL

Last night I was cleaning my nose as I have since my operation (last week for a deviated septom - septoplasty ) and noticed there were large pieces of dried blood and stiff mucus . I went to gently push it out and instead of it coming out I got a sharp pain and Bright red blood for a minute . There is a stitch hanging out now ... should I be worried ? Is this normal ?
