While it's not uncommon to experience some nasal discharge after surgery, persistent green mucus for five months warrants medical attention. It could indicate a lingering infection, scar tissue formation, or other complications from the surgery. Consulting with your surgeon or an ENT specialist is crucial to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment
