I'm four weeks post op. I've been rinsing my nose twice every day with salt water (8 oz water and teaspoon salt, though I realized tonight I've been deviating with too much water) and then cleaning with hydrogen peroxide and applying Polysporin ointment. I also have dissolvable sutures in my nose that my doctor told me would go away over the course of 3 months. But I apparently have a strange odor that others have pointed out. No swelling, no redness, no pain, no fever, all normal. What is it?
