A member asked:
After tonsils removed is it normal for food to taste bitter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If still healing: If' you're still healing after your surgery, you may be raw and in some pain. There may be secretions left behind that have not yet been cleared. You may still have scabs on the wounds. Taste changes after tonsillectomy are more common than previously recognized -- but may come back to normal within 6 months or so. http://tinyurl.com/kb4gw8p.
