3 days post op Rhinoplasty-Will my uvula heal? (photos)

rhinoplastyyMay 6, 2018
Hello, I had a rhinoplasty three days ago and woke up with a sore throat. My lip was bruised from the breathing tube and when I went home my uvula was swollen, red, and dark. The inside of throat has been bloody and irritated ever since. It still hurts. Is this serious damage? Will it heal? Thank you
