Infected stitches? I have open rhinoplasty 4 days ago. (photo)

RSMember3325
I got an open rhinoplasty 4 days ago and I'm worried my stitches are infected. There is yellow discharge, no bleeding, scabs inside my nose, I've been cleaning my nose with q tips and hydrogen peroxide along with putting polysporin on the suture as instructed by my surgeon. Other than this it is slightly uncomfortable but no significant pain, I'm just wondering if I should seek further medical attention?
