After my rhinoplasty every time I move my ears crackle.

Asked By:snowstorm4567 in Temecula, CA

I got my rhinoplasty done ten days ago and I got the cast off yesterday. Everything went perfect except every time I move quickly my right ear starts making this crackling/popping sound. The right side of my face is also more swollen and bruised than the left. Should I be worried or is it normal?
