Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
No this may not be normal. This could be due to sinus infection.
I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics.
2) Oral decongestant like tablet levocetrizine with phenylephrine.
3) Steam inhalation.
4) Consult your operating surgeon for review.
You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
Regards,
