Hi all, I got a rhinoplasty 6 days ago and had a tracheal intubation. I know it is normal to have some throat pain because of this after, however its been 6 days and the pain is still there. It is extremely painful, I haven't been able to eat anything solid, and barely anything liquid, even water and my own saliva burns going down.
