Is Clear, Watery Discharge Normal After A Septoplasty?
I had septoplasty last Tuesday. Recovery is going well with no complications, except the last 2 days I ve experienced drippings, clear water droplets, from both sides. I ve been wiping so much that I ve got nose as red as Rudolph not to mention irritated skin. Is it allergies related or what is causing this water drip?

Hi,
Clear fluid discharge from nose after septoplasty can be due to irritation of nasal mucus membrane / allergy or some problem on surgery itself. I would advise for earliest check up by the operating surgeon for pin pointing the cause and prompt treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
