Hi
Thanks for writing in
Sore throat can occur even after tonsillectomy if you have developed pharyngitis or laryngitis
Avoid cold and fried foods and drinks
Oramorph will help control pain but a good antiinflammatory would be better
Lozenges can help, equally can medicated gargles help
Hope this helps
Wishing you a speedy recovery
