I'm a 17-day post-op rhinoplasty patient. I have an upper respiratory infection.

Asked By:fa1313 in Istanbul, TR

I have been coughing for the last two days. I try to cough through my mouth not to increase pressure around nose area but am still concerned. I haven't had any bleeding or major pain. I only have mild discomfort while coughing sometimes. WIll this affect my end result? Should I be worried? Thanks
