After adenoids surgery
Hi, Doctor. My 9-year-old son underwent adenoidectomy and turbinoplasty 20 days ago. He had his follow-up check-up on the 10th day, and everything was normal with good healing.
For the past 5 days, he has been having thick yellow mucus discharge from both nostrils. Could this be due to a common cold, or could it be pus caused by an infection?
Please advise. Thank you.
