Brief Answer:
Nausea is due to pain killers.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The nausea that you have is likely to be due to the pain killers that you are taking. Healing will take 4-6 weeks. Apply some cold compresses by wrapping ice in a towel and take some anti inflammatory pain killer like ibuprofen and paracetamol (acetaminophen). This will cause lesser nausea.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
