I have had stitches in my throat following a post tonsillectomy bleed. they are now hanging by one thread down my throat. how can i get rid of them?

Call ENT: You should call the ENT who did the surgeon to handle this. Don't try to remove it yourself with a scissor since it may cause major damage. Not a do-it-yourself job.
