Infected Uvula post-surgery? (Photo)

clairrrrr1244
So I got a septoplasmy/rhinoplasty 4 days ago and everything regarding that is fine. However, after the second day, my throat was overwhelmingly sensitive. Furthermore my uvula had swollen up, making it feel like I had a pill permanently stuck in the back of my throat. I thought that it would be over but it has looked like the picture below for the past two and a half days. What can I do? Should I be worried? Absolutely terrified because I don't want another surgery.
