Pain in Palate After Rhinoplasty

February 25, 2010
Asked By:Heather123 in NYC

I had my rhinoplasty 8 days ago. 6 days ago I started feeling a sharp pain in my palate. I have a hard time eating. I look with a mirror and light and noticed a half-moon cut in my palate. It hurts like hell. I have been rincing my mouth with salt and water but 6 days now and it still hurts.Is it normal? I felt it may have been the intubation that left this mark and made a cut? I would ask my doctor but he is gone for a week. Thank you for your help.
