Some Pain is normal

No, swelling and pain can last for 2-3 months after rhinoplasty. If an infection is ruled out by your doctor then the pain should gradually disappear.

Mild Pain Not Unusual After Rhinoplasty

Mild twinges of pain or aches are not unusual, sometimes even months after a rhinoplasty, especially a  more extensive revision as you may have had.  You should mention it to your surgeon but don't expect him to do anything about it.  Certainly contact your doctor right away with new swelling, redness, or drainage.
