I got my tonsils out 4 days ago and im in pain my pain meds are not working my breathe smells horriable and i kind of forced my self to talk to today?

Sounds normal: Adult tonsillectomy is painful. Also bad breath several days following tonsillectomy is normal depending on the method used for tonsillectomy. You sound not that different from most adults following tonsillectomy.
