If it's allergic, you could try an antihistamine. If it's traumatic, you could try an NSAID like ibuprofen.
As well as swelling my nose, lips and chin are numb.
If you're in pain, you can try paracetamol. If it's just swelling then you'll just have to wait for your body to deal with the trauma of surgery on its own.
