Numbness is not a good sign. If you have any trouble breathing or swallowing I would urge going to Urgent Care or ER and follow up with doctor on the weekday. Although it may seem a waste of time it always better to be safe than sorry. Take Care.

I'd call the dr that did the operation and make this known to them. It does take a few days for the general feeling of having something in throat  to go away. But be safe and call dr. Good luck to ya
