12 days post op, supra tip swelling worse since cast removal- San Diego, CA

This will be a quick post, i am 12 days post op, got my cast off Friday and have been starting to notice some supratip swelling that is visible in my profile pictures. It was not there when my cast was first removed. I have been reading that some people tape nightly but my PS did not say anything about it. I am wondering if I should be concerned or will this resolve on its own? I know it is very early in my recovery but don't want to kick myself later for something that could have been prevented. Any advice is welcome :) also I have had some gnarly rhinitis today and yesterday, not sure if its a cold or related to the rhinoplasty?

It's been a few days since I last posted but nothing was new to report, just lew bruising under the eyes each day. Today the cast was removed and I finally got to see what was under there and the results were way better than I could have imagined or expected. Seriously I am very impressed!! The sutures on the columella hurt when they were coming out bc I still have a fair amount of swelling there. The skin in my nose is a little gross, a few more clogged pores than I would like. Bought some witch hazel and hope that helps.

Any have any suggestions for skin care to take care of this problem since I still have to be very gentle when touching my nose? Also I have some tried snot on the anterior part of the inside of my nostrils, trying not to been to aggressive getting it all out bc it's around my dissolvable sutures. I feel like my nose is so naked now and so scared and overprotective of it bc I don't want it to collapse or fall sideways, eek! Next appointment is in a couple weeks :)

First I wanna say typing on an iPad is very annoying so sorry for my many typos along the way. I think I am finally getting the hang of it too.
Pain is much better today and i am now just taking 400 mg ibuprofen every 8 hours. Last night was okay with the ambien. I did not like the narcotics, made my stomach hurt and felt very bloated with the senna laxatives and stool softeners. Not much more to update. Showered yesterday with they help of the bf, he really is so amazing and this is love if he can wait on me and see me looking so terrible lol. Packing comes out tomorrow, does this hurt or can I do alright with the ibuprofen? I really want to be done with those percocets!!
