Q: Is it Normal to have Swollen Tonsils after Septoplasty?

I had septoplasty and all that jazz done a month ago. I am not as pleased with my recovery as I thought I would be. I kind of wonder why I even got it done. It WAS done due to chronic sinus infections and a severly deviated septum. I still have a lot of pain in my face, half my face is numb (but slowly getting better) and I have extreme dizziness when I stand out. I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Today was my one month follow up and he said I didn't need to be seen for another 3 months. I knew I should have asked about this, but I didn't... my tonsils are swollen and I get food caught in them very easily. As we speak I have what looks like a blood clot on one (I can't get rid of it no matter how much I gargle). I didn't want to tell him for fear of sounding like a hypercondriact, or the fact that he might want to take them out. Like I said, I won't be seeing him for another 3 months... is this something I should be concerned with now?
