Septoplasy and turbinate reduction. Dissolvable packing? 4 days post-op.

Asked By:jojo1509 in Los Angeles, CA

Hello, 4 days ago I had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction due to long term sinus issue. I know my doc used dissolvable packing - does anyone know how this will come out? My nose is still dripping with a watery substance infused with blood. I can taste the packing when I swallow. Not breathing from the nose appears to be the worst of this surgery!
