4 weeks post-op. Getting a sore throat. I see white spots on my tonsils.. Should I go to the doctors?? Has anyone been sick after surgery? What did you do?

Danielle

Thanks!

    hi danielle

    Better be safe than sorry, as they say ... do you have a fever ?   maybe also have a look at your medication and see if one of the side effects is "flu like symptoms or sore throat" -

    Feel better soon darling 

    big warm hug

    Could be tonsilitus, glandular fever, or quincy, they all have white spots.  Go to the docs, it may be nothing but you don't want to take chances with infections.
