First a hot herbal drink: You might try some hot tea. Anything with menthol, camphor or peppermint should help with the pain.
Sudafed only opens your passages, but the gunk might be "stuck to the wall". For a homeopathic remedy which works in minutes, try a saline nasal rinse (not a spray.) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It soothes with warmth, it draws out the entire gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean, but without the eye stinging). You might have to try a couple of times!
Buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot
You can do this as often as you like with no side effects. KEEP TRYING!
You don’t need a prescription for this therapy. If you live in a state like mine, they’ve pretty much “outlawed” sudafed medicine. Drug-free is really the way to go on a frequent-use basis.

The swollen neck is more probably due to swollen lymph nodes in the neck which can accompany a respiratory system infection.

Also check your area for mildew. I had problems breathing for a week, stayed home in bed from work. Finally found that my apartment was leaking my floors were wet, causing mildew. These airborne particles hurt my breathing for sure.

Sure, if the surgery was not planned properly.
