Nose tip became red and sore 10 days post-op. Infection or due to minor bump? (photo)

Had rhinoplasty last Monday (medical tourism). The bridge was silicone implant and the tip cartilage from my ear. 2 days ago I bumped my nose tip with my finger while sneezing and it really hurt and then the tip got red and sore. I'm not sure if the it's because of the bump or it's been infected. My husband has a sore throat at the same time. I got a jab of Sephorin and am on oral Augmentin for about two days but the redness hasn't gone away. It also feels more sore than yesterday.
