Hello,

It is due to pharyngitis after tonsillectomy.
As a first line management you can try warm saline gargles for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist it will be better to consult an ENT specialist and start on antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
