Why is my right nostril clear 3 days post opp? (photo)

Asked By:iceeeprincesss in Rockville, MD

rhinoplasty on Monday to reduce dorsal hump,raise tip etc. Now at the end of my 3rd post opp day - I've been sneezing a lot of clear dishcharge (felt like my right nostril was irritated). I sneezed a large ball of mucous. After that the sneezing stopped. Right nostril seems to have cleared completely and air is circulating through without any extra effort. I have only cleaned with a qtip shallowly. No bleeding or pain is present. Is this cause for concern? Sincerely, late at night and worried.
