Talk 2 surgeon: Always talk to your surgeon about any complications & concerns that occur after your surgery/procedure. In fact, during your pre-op consultation, you should ask possible & common complications & concerns and what to do.

Post op pain: Your throat pain after tonsillectomy reaches a maximum in 4 to 5 days. The surgical site is adjacent and sometime involves the back of your tongue hence tongue pain is a common complain. See your surgeon if your pain is extreme causing inability to swallow.
