Is Liquid Paraffin Use Safe After Septoplasty?

I had a septoplasty with turbinoplasty for my blocked nose. I had the packing removed after 48 hours. I have no splint in my nose. Instead there is a stitch at the base of my septum near the upper lip. I have been asked to use liquid paraffin drops daily for the next month. This liquid paraffin is causing the gunk and debris from surgery to stick. I am also concerned about paraffinoma. Is it safe to continue? What are other alternatives? Can I use coconut oil instead?
