Got a Cold 2 Weeks After Rhinoplasty
I had rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago with very little swelling. Now, I have a cold or allergies with a lot of congestion. My nose is now swollen and the bump (which was there previously) is now bigger. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Cold or Flu after Rhinoplasty
The nose may feel congested after any nasal surgery. This swelling inside the nose generally resolves within a few weeks. However, one may catch a cold or have allergies after rhinoplasty. Speak with your rhinoplasty surgeon for treatment.
