Hi,
Sometimes the tissues which have gone under the knife can react with inflammation and serous discharge which can present like this. But these symptoms continuing even after 5 days of surgery is something abnormal and I suggest you get back to your ENT surgeon regarding this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
