Answer: Nose bleed
Although unusual, epistaxis can occur after surgery from turbulent airflow or uncompensated increased airflow causing the nasal mucosa to dry and crack (similar to chapped lips). This is more common in dryer climates and in the winter. The frequent utilization of nasal saline spray usually alleviates this. If it persists despite proper moisturization a thorough nasal examination by an Otolaryngologist is indicated.
