Septoplasty stints cutting nose. Can I go to the walk-in clinic to get them removed?

Asked By:morganloro in Toronto, ON

I recently got a septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery, I am five days post-op. About two days ago I noticed my splints were really digging into the tip of my nose (on the inside of course). It was only slightly bothersom, but has now developed to a cut. I cannot move my top lip or stretch my nose in any way without blinding pain from my nose. I cannot see my doctor for another 3 days. Can I go to the walk-in clinic to get them removed ?
