What Causes Swollen Nose With Smell In Mouth/nose After Having Septoplasty/turbinectomy?
I hd septoplasty and turbinectomy 2 days ago and am feeling a lot worse today than the 2 days before. My nose is feeling more tender and swollen, and I am smelling something awful in my mouth/nose. I also feel generally quite unwell. A bit worried it may be infected, how can I know?
