Can't breathe out of one nostril after structural rhinoplasty? 5 days post op.

Asked By:Nessie991 in Dublin, OH

I had a structure rhinoplasty 5 days ago. I haven't been able to breathe out of my left nostril at all. It isn't completely clogged or anything, i have had some blood/watery discharge. It looks a bit pinched and I feel pressure. My right nostril is completely fine. I can breathe through it and looks more rounder and less pinched. I asked my surgeon and he said just to use a Q tip and some hot water mixed with some salt. I would just like a second opinion on what it could be.
