A member asked:

Tonsillectomy 9 days ago. scabs came if and caused bleeding. tonsillar fossas are still white. more scabs, or just healing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tonsillectomy: Unless your throat is looked at, we are going to hover over "possible, perhaps, maybe" zone. If you feel you are not improving the way you feel is right, it's time to be looked at.
