My nose looked very nice and sharp and thin which I loved, after rhinoplasty. However, I used a nose spray for a few days and ever since it looks fat and bad now. I even went to a family doctor and he gave me a anti-biotic cream(Fuicidine) or so is the name and that didnt help it either. I also tried salinex and it didnt do the trick either. Now I'm very scared because is my nose going to remain fat and ugly? I know its swollen but its been 3 weeks now it feels irritated and weird from inside.

I almost never use intranasal splints or packing. Unless something has become displaced this is probably still swelling. Saline sprays may be helpful but check with your doctor first.
