General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. The red bumps can be due to overhealing process of the body itself or can indicate an infection. I hope you are on antibiotics and gargles. There has to be another reason for your postnasal drip with blood, again a possibility of an infection. I think you need t consult your operating surgeon.
