Had an open Sseptorhinoplasty 5.5 weeks ago. As of yesterday came down with a bad head cold/flu. Will this effect my healing?

May 29, 2019

Nose is quite sore and will not stop running. I have been blowing it gently. My nose was already still swollen before the cold and now it has really puffed up. Just wondering if this will effect my healing results or just make it take longer for the swelling to go down?
