14 days past tonsillectomy. Still seem to have very thick scabs covering about half of each wound. Normal/common? When is the latest they should fall off? Should I expect more increase in pain when they do? What is the chance of bleeding?
Tonsillectomy 9 days ago. Scabs came if and caused bleeding. Tonsillar fossas are still white. More scabs, or just healing?
