What Causes Sudden Nose Bleed Post Sinus Surgery?

5 days following sinus surgery I had a sudden bleed from the nose. Using ice and pressure I was able to stop it. This happened about 10 hrs ago. Is it ok for me to continue with sinus irrigation and to use otrivin plus, as I am now very stuffed up again? I'm in Australia.
