Is the Yellow Patch Inside my Nostril an Infection?

Noseproblem
I had a rhinoplasty 13 months ago and still experience swelling and redness. I have been told this is likely an infection on here. I can see something yellow inside my nostril and have bad smelling fluid when my nose swells with heat or exercise etc. Does this confirm an infection? If so how can it be treated? Many thanks
