Asked By:Nick789 in Laurel, MD

18 hours after septoplasty i blew my nose hard in my dream, in my dream the right nostril blew out mucus. I woke up and the right packing had moved down just a little bit not much. Now im experiencin a burning feeling right where they put the graft in the right nostril. I imagine this is the same as pulling out the packing 18 hrs after surgery. Chances I caused damage?
