What Do Blue Veins In Throat After Tonsils Operation Indicate?
Hi,I had my tonsils removed 3 and a half weeks ago and where the tonsils were on one side has blue vein-type things on it. They were not present at any stage on the opposite side and seem to be getting longer as the days progress which is what makes me wonder if they are not stitches.Are these the stitches, or veins or an infection? I am very worried.
