Red bump around stitches after rhinoplasty?

luvjelena
My surgery was on Sunday, and my doctor told me to use a syringe to spray saline serum into my nose 4x a day. This makes my nose run and im always using a tissue to gently pat the outside bottom of my nostrils. Around one of the stitches on my right nostril there is a small red bump but no pain or pus or anything. What could this be? Also, i am on antibiotics.
