Hello
please meet your ent doctor as it is likely that the follicles ( normal lymph structures ) present at the back of your throat have increased in size following the tonsillectomy , ( this is quite common ) . He will examine you and confirm this , you may need another course of antibiotics and mouth gargles to reduce the swelling.
Please meet your doctor

Thanks
