Nose still hurts 3 weeks after getting hit with a pillow 6 days post op. Can I get a second opinion?

jbee2424Jan 22, 2019
Got hit on the right side of my nose with a pillow near bridge area 6 days after my rhinoplasty. No noticeable damage; weirdly rt side looks a lil less swollen for Could that be due to the trauma?. Most importantly this happened three weeks, and every now and then there is a dull achey pain sensation only on the right side; not the left. Is still normal to still have pain from getting hit three weeks ago? Just a lil nervous. Have a follow up in 2 weeks but wanted to get some opinions. thanks.
