Rhinoplasty recovery question. Is it acceptable to do light housework?

Asked By:Jezabel 39 in New York, NY

I am 5 days post op Rhinoplasty and Chin Implant. most of the swelling and bruising are down. Is it acceptable to do light housework? Also, I attempted to clean my right nostril with hydrogen peroxide, very gently on the inside, not deep at all, nor close to the tip. I also applied a good amount of Neosporine. A few seconds later I got a tingling sensation in the nostril. Is there a possibility that I damaged stitches and it may impair my healing process and ultimate results...
