Hi and thanks for the query,
Its not normal after 1 month post tonsillectomy.
If you are having difficulty in swallowing then you need to see your doctor and get direct or indirect laryngoscopy done, wherein your throat will be visualised.
You may also need upper GI endoscopy wherein your esophagus and stomach will be visualised.
Burning in the mouth can be due to vitamin deficiencies.
