I've had septoplasty and IT reduction surgery about four days ago, and I'm trying to figure out the best diet to follow during recovery. What foods should I eat or avoid to help with healing? I'm concerned about doing everything I can to ensure a smooth recovery. Any advice would be great!

I'm dealing with some pretty bad swelling just below the right side of my jaw, and I'm wondering if it's because of tonsilitis. Is this something serious? The pain in my throat is terrible, and swallowing is almost unbearable right now. I've started on augmentin, reswas, and hexidime gargle on my doctor's advice. Any ideas on how long this swelling might last or if I should be more worried?
