I'm having trouble sleeping after having septoplasty. What can I do?

I had my septoplasty to fixed my deviated septum and I'm now at home recovering. My nose has become swollen and stuffed with an endless supply of...something. I know my nose is constantly running with a clear liquid and some blood in my left nostril. Because both of my nostrils are constantly stuffed, I can't seem to fall asleep. Either I' swallowing which is causing my head and ears to pop, jarring me awake, or my body is trying to snore and I'm choking. It's scaring me. What can I do?
