What Causes Red Bumps On Tongue After A Tonsillectomy?
About 6 weeks after my tonsillectomy I got a few red bumps on the back of my tongue. Feels like there is something funny there when I swallow. It is now 3 months post tonsillectomy and I still have the red bumps on the left side of the back of the tongue. Any idea what this is?
