I had a tonsillectomy 10 days ago and for the past few days have been bringing up green blood tinged mucus. help! is this a normal part of healing?

Let your doctor know: I recommend you call your surgeon and let him know. This should be ok as long as you are not having frank bleeding from your throat.
