Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of septoplasty done to stop postnasal drip and breathe better as the throat always felt full.
The problem after septoplasty done 6 days ago is that you have yellow mucus with blood; this is not normal at all and indicates that you have an infection and need a course of an antibiotic and supportive medicines like an anti-inflammatory and decongestants.
Local nasal cleaning with sodabicarb and normal saline may also help to clear the problem you have.
Do not worry, this will get cured.
