When drinking water or just swallowing my nose makes a weird noise?

NnoseJun 30, 2016
I just had a rhinoplasty 2 days ago but i have noticed that when i drink water or swallow salvia my nose makes a weird noise. I think its air that is being pushed out but its only through my right nostrils. Its quite annoying. Anyone who might know the reason behind this? Will it pass?
