I had a Rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago and have NO air flow in one of my nostrils. Is this normal?

I had septoplasty and when my doctor opened me up he said I had several large Spurs and scar tissue and did a ground up reconstruction. I had tubes inserted for the first week. When I went in for the tube removal one of the stitches blew and the tubing was waaaay in my nose - almost in my throat. I'm worried 1, this has perhaps pushed my septum over as it wasn't equal pressure and 2) that I have no airflow Bc of this. I'm hoping it's just congestion way back there but am worried.
