Why Do I Have a Small Bump Inside my Nose After my Rhinoplasty?

countingdownthedays
I had primary rhinoplasty 10 days ago and love the results so far! I had the bump removed from my bridge, tip reduction and alar base reduction. However, I've noticed a small hard bump inside my nose. It does hurt when i touch it (when im cleaning the inside of my nose). There isn't any discharge though. Could this be an infection? I have 1 month follow up app, should I see him earlier?
