Post-op Rhinoplasty - My Allergies Are Making my Swelling Worse

SanDiego92130
I had rhinoplasty 5.5 weeks ago. My seasonal allergies are really bad right now. Could the allergies ruin my nose? The allergies are making my swelling worse and actually increasing my swelling! When I went to my one month appt, my ps said that my nose was more swollen then before! Should I be concerned? Will my nose lose its shape? Should I be taping at night??
