What Causes Painful Swallowing And Cough?

Yesterday I had some neurofibromas removed from my face which requried me to go into the hosptial and be put under general anast. The doctor later came out an explained to my husband that the had a lot of trouble getting the tube down and they had to use a fiber opetics to get down my throat. They sepect some fibromas on the inside and want me to see an ENT. Today I feel like a mack truck hit me my whole body is sore I still can not get any solids down only fluids my throat and tounge are killing me. Today I devoloped a cough and it hurts so bad to cough I need to hold a pillow against my chest to cough. My question is, is this normal and should I be concerned.
