I noticed a tiny hole on my septum the size of a pen nib. Does a hole that size repair itself? Are there treatments to seal it?

I had a septorhinoplasty about two months ago and I noticed a very tiny hole where my septum is on the inside of my right nostril (I am not sure how deep it is but it is about the size of a dot mark made by a thin pen) sometimes I notice it makes breathing more difficult when I inhale. Does a hole that size repair itself? Are there any treatments to seal it?
