What Could Be The Grayish Piece Comes Out After Silver Nitrate Cauterization On The Nose?
I had my nose cauterized with silver nitrate on Wednesday night. The doctor told me not to blow my nose for a few days. I just blew it very gently today and a grayish piece of something came out of my nose and I am worried that I will start bleeding again. Should I be really concerned, or has enough time passed that I ll be ok?
