Tonsils: Taste will normally return with 10-14 days. Swallowing should get better by the day. Keep to liquids, soft foods,. No mouthwashes. No spicy foods for 2-3 weeks. Can use anesthetic lozenges, e.g. cyclone. can get some prednisone if swallowing function is overly affected, decreases swelling and inflammation.
