What Causes Burning Sensation In In The Throat After Tonsillectomy?

I've had a tonsillectomy 11 days from now, it was hard the first few days but pain gradually resided and the pain is 90 percent gone. However on my right tonsil there's a slight burning sensation when I swallow in one particular area. I looked at my throat and it looked like a really small pimple where my right tonsil was removed, what could this be? There's also quite a lot of white on my throat is this normal? Thanks
