It's been 5 days since the surgery and blood has accumulated in my nostrils and it's hard to breathe. Should I hold on? I don't know if my nose hurts, but sometimes the bridge of my nose gets itchy. I'd like to inquire about a nose wash at the hospital where I had the surgery. However, since it's Children's Day weekend, I can't get a treatment. Is it okay to go to a nearby ENT clinic and get a nose wash?
