What Does Small White Bits Of Puss Inside Nose Indicate?
Hi, I had a septoplasty about a week ago, the breathing has increased a lot, and the aesthetics of the nasal passages look a lot more equal. Yet, I have small white bits of pus in the side of my nose where the deviation was the biggest problem, is this pus normal or is it signs of an infection at all?

Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that it is a healing tissue. If it is a pus than it can come out of the nose. But as you have undergone the surgery right now you should be on antibiotics so chances of infection in your case is very low. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx.
