Specializes in Gastroenterology

No: It is not unusual for your abdomen to feel tight after an illness. It would be worrisome, however, if you were having of fever, abdominal pain or tenderness to touch on your abdomen. otherwise, you should expect that it will improve over the next few days. If not, see your doctor. Good luck.
