Will Cortisone Tablets Help Swelling After Revision Rhinoplasty?

Heniin
I had my 3rd and 4th operation around 6 weeks ago, to correct some nasal problems and remove scar tissue and cartilage bumps on the sides of the nose. I went to a regualar doctor here bcus i got some issues with breathing after the operation, mostly bcus of "heavy" swelling. The dc gave me cortisone tabs for the swelling, will this work or do i actually need a steroid injection? My PS lives 5-6 hours away from me so it's kinda far to travel for a injection. Regards.
