Nausea 2 1/2 weeks after tummy tuck. Is this normal?

I am two and half weeks out from TT. Still have two drains in. Was on prednisone because of hives from allergic reaction to the glue/tape that was used for the incision. Have not taken pains meds in 3 days and I feel nauseous on a daily basis. It is like being car sick but all the time. Is this normal?
