Having nasal discharge and pain after tooth extraction and dental implant placement. (Photo)

njpatient1
72 hrs post #4 tooth extraction & implant, experiencing pain, pressure, slight dizziness & developed streaming nasal discharge on side of surgery. Discharge is very liquid, red/yellow tint (pic). I have now been prescribed methylprednisolone, Augmentin (875-125mg; 2x per day for 7 days) and Claritan. After developing MRSA orbital cellulitis after sinus surgery a few years back, I am very concerned about what is occurring, as I had no such complication w/ prior implant. Should I be concerned?
