Cashmere

Hey guys so I got my hamster Cashmere about 3 days ago at PetSmart. She is a Robo Dwarf and she's obviously really small ( I don't know her age). In her cage at Petsmart she was paired with another female Robo, glass tank, one hiding house (plastic), wheel, food bowl, and water bottle. She was pretty normal by the looks as well very active when i saw her, which made me get her. Now as the days go by I feel like her nose is getting a little swollen by the day (or so i think) and her inner nostrils look red. She is grooming and scratching her face. I can't pick her up because she's still very new and i haven't gotten the chance to tame her. I do have pictures of her face by the way!
Her cage is a 10 gallon tank which I now realize is a tad bit small and ill be switching over to a Billy Ikea cage. Her bedding is CareFresh in the color yellow, but its under my understanding Carefresh is suppose to be one of the best?? so I went to a all natural pet store and picked up a new bedding by OxBow in Natural but haven't gotten the chance to switch it because i don't want to make her more stressed about her surrounding. She is pretty active, eating, drinking water, burrowing and NO sneezing.
One thing i do need to admit is that i did not disinfect any of her new stuff.
I dont know whether to go a vet or not if all i need to do is simply change her bedding and clean her cage out?? Im a new hamster owner please help!! i love her so much already i just want the best for her.
