Is my incision becoming infected? I'm 25 days post alarplasty. (photos)

Hello, I had an alarplasty 25 days ago. I am currently abroad on vacation so cannot see/call my doctor at the moment. I noticed that the incision inside my right nostril looks a little more red and maybe more swollen than before. Is it the beginning stages of becoming infected? Does it look like something I should try to see a doctor in the current foreign country I'm in? Or is it just the normal healing process? Thank you.
