Brief Answer:
Congestion after sinoplasty

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you should not get worried about because it is a side effect of sinoplasty.
You should have been better in two days.
I think you may need to use corticosteroid antinflamatory drugs for inflammation and swelling. Xrays maybe needed.
Visit an ENT doctor is advisable to see the sinus conditions.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
