I can feel the stitches of the tip of my nose, what should I do?

I had rhinoplasty about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I have been sneezin and coughing. Yesterday there was something sticking out of my nose. I thought it was a little mucus however it turns out to be part of my stitch in the inside of the upper tip of my nose. It was long so I cut what was sticking out of my nose and left the rest of it. And now I see a little stitch coming out on my right nostril. I've been coughing a lot but have taking cough drops to control it. What do I do?
