I wont lecture you on this, because what's done it done.
I've had mine done 3 times, just so you know, so I know alot about this.
Just because you put it in "alcohol and cleaned it real good" - it doesn't mean it was sterilized. Not to mention the jewelry!
The only way to effectively sterilize needles and jewelry is to put them in an autoclave.
ANYWAY.
If I were you, I'd give it about 2 days to settle down.
In the mean time, don't put any ointments on it. All you need is sea salt soaks. Apply them to your nose about 3/4 times daily, each for 15 minutes.
DO NOT touch it or play with it. You WILL get a nasty bump which will take months for it to go, okay?
If you start to see pus coming out and it's a bad colour, you will most probably need antibiotics and doctors advice. I know alot of the time you AREN'T suposed to take infected piercings out, because it leaves the infection inside your nose.
If you need any other advice, inbox me.
Edit:
It depends on the sizes of the jewelry. If it's a regular L shaped nose screw you're going to change it to, it should be fine. If it's thicker than the earring you have in at the moment, you'll have a but of trouble putting it in. Either way, it should be okay if you look after it well. Within the first 3 months, try not to change the jewelry any more while it heals.
