My husband had a parotidectomy and a neck dissection 10 days ago. We’ve never had any sort of surgery before but he is still in a lot of pain.
On Wed he was feverish and vomiting with a headache so we went to an and e and he was very dehydrated and seemed to improve with iv fluids. They checked his bloods and did obs for 24 hours, and also did a ct scan to check the wound which had a little liquid but nothing to worry about.
We have been home 48 hours but he still isn’t great, the headache and nausea have gone but his ear is very painful (they gave antibiotics for this). So am just wondering is this normal? Given we’ve just been in hospital I don’t think I can take him anywhere else until we’ve given a bit more time

Give his CNS a ring to organise his surgeon look at him if only to tweak his pain meds
