How To Treat Tonsillectomy?
I got a tonsillectomy 2 months ago and a week ago I scratched my throat on food. It has hurt for a week now and sometimes feels better and sometimes hurts worse. How long should this take to heal?? I am a smoker also. Is that causing a longer recovery time?

Hello & welcome to HealthcareMagic .
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you Antiseptic Mouth Wash twice daily & Vitamin C.
Normally it takes 4-6 weeks to heal.
Yes , smoking cause longer recovery time .
