I am on day 12 of my tonsillectomy and yesterday it appeared as though almost all of my scabs have fallen off and I could see almost only pink in my throat but today throughout the day the white stuff is coming back in my throat. Is that something to be concerned about

Sloughing can occur for upto 15 days after tonsillectomy. Minimal sloughing without any pain and bleeding is not a matter of concern. You can use anti septic mouth gargle for few days
Next Steps
Consult surgeon who has operated regarding confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
