What is the cause of pus 3 days post nose filler and what does this mean? (Photos)

Asked By:waterforlife in Los Angeles, CA

I got a nose filler last 3 days (This is my second time nose filler in a year) My nose is so red and hurt in 2nd day. But today morning (3rd day) there are plenty of small pus around. Is this because of too much filler block to blood circulation? or it is because of virus infection?
