Pus-like mucus and blood in nose 2 weeks post-rhinoplasty (Photo)

December 7, 2017
Asked By:khydock in Philadelphia, PA

Hello, I had a rhinoseptoplasty performed 2 weeks ago. I had the splint and stents removed 1 week ago, which initially helped alleviate my trouble breathing through my nose; however, in the past couple days I have had quite a bit of pus-like mucus accumulating at the top of the tips of my nose. I am not sure if this is normal or if there could be an internal infection. I apologize for the poor quality of the attached pictures. Thank you so very much in advance!
