its only 2 days after surgery. Its better to follow the instructions by your maxillofacial surgeon. continue with all the medications prescribed and post surgical instructions. Even if you consult a neurosurgeon, the result will not be spontaneous (in few days). All neurological symptoms require your patience and may take some time. Don't panic, you will be alright.
