Can Tonsils Removal Cause Pain And Swelling In The Tongue?

My daughter had her tonsils/adnoids removed five days ago. Two days ago she has another surgery to stop bleeding. She is 18. Two days later her biggest complaint is her tongue pain. It is swollen along with her cheeks. It does not look like thrush? What can I do for her?
