Is It Normal To Have Soreness And Tingling In Nose After Nose Cauterization?

Hi I was wondering if you could help,
I had my nose cauterized 4days ago and I'm concerned it might be infected as its inflamed, sore and appears to be oozing also feels bruised and my teeth/gum is also sensitive and tingling (I have no problems with my teeth/gums before) is this normal or should I get it seen by my gp
Thanks

Hello
this is not normal and i would like you to meet your doctor again!
oozing is a sign of infection and you may need to apply a local antibiotic ointment on the cauterized site, you may also need to start on oral antibiotics,
please meet your ent doctor for discussing this.
thanks
