What Causes Tenderness In The Nose After A Septoplasty?
I had a septoplasty operation on Saturday morning. The doctor told me to start gently blowing my nose the day after which I have started to do. However, two days after the surgery my nose is incredibly tender to touch and im beginning to get yellow/green mucus coming out when I blow it. Could this be sign of an infection?

Hi,
Pain can persist after septoplasty. It may be due to mild inflammation. As of now, you can take an analgesic/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist or in case of signs of infection like redness or pus discharge, you have to consult your ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
