The runny nose won't stop and my nose is soaked with snot. There's nothing I can do about it? No matter how hard I try to wipe it with a cotton swab, it won't dry... And I was told to apply eye ointment to the columella scar. Is it okay to get my nose on it right after applying the ointment?? No, it doesn't seem like I'm wiping the runny nose in the first place... Anyway, because of the runny nose, it stings a little bit, as if the inside of my nose is swollen. But isn't this the case for everyone??
