Hello,
It is very rare but it may occur post adenoidectomy or tonsilectomy. It may be due to nerve palsy. If it is persistent more than 3-4 weeks please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
