Does taking antibiotics effect the nose after rhinoplasty?

August 1, 2015
Asked By:dianas1530 in San Jose, CA

Hi, it has been 6 weeks since my rhinoplasty. Just about 2 days ago my upper lip was infected and I had an infection in my throat. My doctor gave my antibiotics and I was wondering if the antibiotics would effect anything. Thanks.
