Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

Aa per your complain, it seems that you have inflamed Circumvallete Papillae which are large tongue papillae present in a typical "V" shaped pattern and contains taste buds..
As you have got your tonsils removed two weeks back and in case if there is infection and inflammation in throat it can lead to swelling of Papillae..
You should consult your treating physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and if there is infection antibiotics, painkillers and warm saline gargles can be advised..
As of now to relieve pain you can take Ibuprofen and gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine.
Do warm saline gargles and take a soft diet..
Avoid spicy food..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
