Can Nasal Surgery Cause Sore Throat? Also, The Feeling Of Hanging Tonsils Normal?

Hi, I just had nasal surgery and Har an extremely sore throat. It hurts whenever I swallow. Today I felt sick, as I was throwing up I felt something in the back of my throat pull forward, I believe it's my tonsils. I can now feel them hanging. What does this mean? Is it normal? Should I be concerned?

hello. you dont have to be concerned, it may just be a mild infection in your throat or it may be due to mouth breathing because of the nasal block after surgery. just gargle with warm salt water and meet your doctor if it persists for another few days. thanks
