General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome to HCM, I have gone through you query and understood your concerns, to feel discomfort is common in postoperative recovery, He has not infection but probably he has some inflammation and mucosa irritation due the procedure, I suggest to keep a local and natural treatment focused to relieve the symptoms, it would be great if he starts to do some saline gargle mixed with honey every 2-3 hours and drink one tablespoon of honey 4 times a day any kind works well (when he drinks the honey he needs avoid to drink or eat until 30 minutes)
Honey is a bactericide with excellent anti-inflammatory property that's going to improve the healing process, be sure that he drinks plenty of fluids and vitamins supplements if after 2 days the symptoms still persist a doctor should be consulted

Please kindly rate if my advise has been helpful
Wishing you a good health
