Default Air in water pipes question

I drained the water heater, then filled it up, and all went well except...
the faucet in the bathroom has remained with very weak flow (hot and cold
water). All the other faucets are back to normal flow.

I guess it's air in the pipes, right?

What can I do to get the flow back to normal?

Thanks

Possibly debris. You might check the supply pipes to the faucet, and
clean the aerator. Tom

You called that one right.

The bath closest to the water heater, had its sink faucet aerator full of
precip debris. Was the source likely to be from the water heater? I left all
the faucets open while draining to allow venting.

Yes, refilling probably stirred up some sediment.
