Post Tonsillectomy

2018-08-27 18:52:01
I had a tonsillectomy 6 days ago, the pain was horrible and has now gone worse. It’s gone from an ache to agony, stinging! I could manage solid foods by day 3 but today i’ve not ate anything apart from an ice lolly. Do I have an infection? Do I need to go to A&E?
