I am not a Dr., but it takes 6+ weeks for the internal stitches to fully disolve.  The other consideration is that scar tissue can form anytime after the surgery ... I have some, the think, along my thyroid which tugs above the thyroid anytime my lymph node gets the tiniest bit inflammed from a virus or pollen allergies, etc.

Defintiely tell your Dr .. it's important for them to know.

An ENT may do a scope to visually see what is going on .. just some thoughts.
