Hi still got a bit of swelling on my throat , i have had my thyroid removed 10 days ago x is this normal please?

Probably OK: Some swelling in the area of the incision is normal for many weeks to months after thyroidectomy. However, if there is any significant redness or tenderness, this can be a sign of infection and needs to be evaluated.
