IS It Normal To Have Painful Red Area On The Tongue After A Tonsillectomy?
my daughter had a tonsillectomy 5 days ago. She has whiteness on her tongue as expected, but in has a huge painful dark red area in the center of her tongue now. Is this normal? Has not been given any antibiotics-cold this be a reaction from all the motrin and tylenol?
