What Causes Sore Throat With Inflamed Tonsils Post Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Thanks for using health care magic.

Read your query.

I would advice you to see a ENT surgeon for your tonsil infection .

According to what you have mentioned , it doesn't seems to be related to the tooth removal.

You can continue the warm saline gargles .

Thanks and regards
