A member asked:
My son is on his 7th day post tonsillectomy and he has white stuff inside of mouth is that an infection?

No: No this is likely fibrin which is his mucosa healing from the surgery. It is expected to see this. Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain, soft or liquid foods. Popsicles and ice cream!
