How Do I Know if I Have an Infection After Revision Rhinoplasty?

R.Ashley
I recently had a second rhinoplasty with rib cartilage!The surgery turned out very well. I recently started noticing this small bump on the right nostril. The bump is on the side next to my tip. Idk if it is an actual bump or if my skin inside my nostril is swollen. The other side looks fine. I was just wondering if i have anything to worry about. It has been almost a month and a half since surgery. I get a slight stinging pain sometimes in both my nostrils. Wat are some signs of infection? TY!
