in my opinion this whitish membrane like structure in lateral pharynx is slough. this is normal after tonsillectomy. this is made after having regular H2O2 gargles. it is good, it will get healed in normal tissue gradually. just take diet as instructed by your operating surgeon. cold drinks are allowed.
