Thanks for posting the query
It is common to have the above mentioned symptoms following tonsillectomy. It could be either due to the medicines you have been taking or reduction of blood in the body following the surgery or impending infection following surgery.
I would suggest you to consult your doctor to examine your throat for any sign of infection. Meanwhile, drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated.
