A member asked:
Do tonsil scabs fall off in 1 big piece or flakes off over time? its day 10 after tonsillectomy and i cant tell if they have started to fall off or anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The scab should fall off piece by piece when you are eating or drinking and you will likely not notice.
