A member asked:
I'm on day 8 of getting my tonsils removed and there they have mucus in the holes, is this common? and does that mean it's healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You usually have whitish / yellow patches where the tonsils were removed. This will eventually slough off and the tissue will appear normal.
