I Had a Septo/rhinoplasty, Doctor Removed Splints and Cast Yesterday and Now I Can't Really Breathe Through my Nose?

Nathan Dix
Yesterday my surgeon removed the splints and cast, and shortly after I could breathe great but through the night the breathing got worse and worse, also swelling increased, I can feel the nose swelled up on my face. Is this normal? When will I get my breathing through the nose back?
