A member asked:

Is it normal to have a small amount of blood in the area where the tonsils were 8 days after surgery? should this cause burning when drinking water?

Both symptoms are: Normal and expected. Chew some ice chips and take some tylenol (acetaminophen) for relief. Follow up with your ENT dr. Take care!
