Don't worry it's normal.
Take Solspre Nasal Spray 2puffs 2 times for 8-10 days. This will avoid blood clotting and help in nasal clearance.

It is common after surgery
You have to keep cleaning nose with liq.paraffin followed by nasowash nasal douching
If it still doesn't clear, go back to the operating surgeon for endoscopic suction clearance of nose. It is a small procedure with no anaesthesia required
