Should I Be Worried About The Tissue Falling Off During Tonsillitis?

I am recovering from tonsillitis (I'm an adult) and I have pieces of tissue (solid with blood, pus and tonsil tissue) hanging and falling off of my tonsils. Is this a normal part of the healing process? The pain is much less today than it has been the last few days, although I still have a higher temperature than normal.
