Drip pad removal or replace?

Mynoseplastry
I had open rhinoplastry on Tuesday 09th June. It's now 12th June, 4 days in and i still have my drip pad on, have been changing it fairly regular as and when i feel it needs it. Is it a good idea to take it off and keep it off now, let my nose get an airing? Or perhaps, have drip pad off for an hour or so and replace and continue to do that for splint removal on the 17th, 5 days from now? Many thanks for your time,
