Can Accutane cause your nose to swell?

bellaxoo
I started to use Isotretinoin (Accutane?) 5 days ago. I’m very worried that something is wrong because I’ve never heard that your nose can get swollen. After 3-4 days the sides of my nose started to hurt a little, and after some days the pain sensation started to come all over the nose area and not just the sides. My nose hurts and feels very stiff and swollen and is red. The inside of my nose is dry. It’s also very hard to do facial expressions because my face hurts, mostly because of my nose.
