Why do I keep blowing out dried scabs every couple of days? How can I prevent them from coming back?

eleyano
Hi, I am currently 2 months post rhinoplasty/septoplasty and I've been getting these huge scabs/boogers coming out of the very back of my nose every couple of days. I begin to notice them when I start smelling a disgusting smell in the back of my nose. Both nostrils seem to have the exact same problem and it is irritating having to blow these things out every couple of days not knowing why they keep growing back. I have attached a picture(sorry its gross) of what exactly comes out. Thanks doctor
