Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It’s quite normal and are nothing but small bleeding spots that develop after tonsillectomy procedure. It’s normal finding and nothing to worry about it. You can do saline gargles for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
