Great that you’re through surgery! Difficulty swallowing does happen sometimes, if you can use icepacks that will help with swelling, & if you’re not on them steroids can help too. A couple of members have had fluid build up which has caused problems recently, @JPB in his post:
Preparing for the big day - Dr. Hackman - General - Living with Eagle
And Tikimon recently…:
Styloidectomy surgery coming up. Need help with information on post surgery symptoms - General - Living with Eagle
I hope that the meds work for you soon, praying for you
