Feeling sick and weak after rhinoplasty?

December 27, 2016
Asked By:joejoe12324 in Charlotte, NC

I was born with a cleft palate and 5 days ago I had rhinoplasty to straighten my nose and my septum. I woke up this morning feeling very sick, I had a very sore throat, chills, my face is very pale, and I feel very weak. Is this normal?
