After tonsillectomy I have white stuff in my mouth. When does the white stuff go away after tonsillectomy?

The white stuff is the scab that turns white. This is a normal process of healing after tonsillectomy. It is not a sign of infection. It usually lasts approximately 10 to 15 days after the procedure. Thank you.
Ask your surgeon.
