Asked By:Fern594 in Modesto, CA

I had my surgery 10 days ago and had my nose cleaned 3 days ago at my post op appointment however I'm still really congested to the point of getting really bad headaches that last all day even when I take tylenol for them and today 1 sneezed out part of my stitch. The doctor said it looked good at my appointment and the stitches would dissolve but I'm still concerned
