The white stuff is normal. Just like when you fall and skin your knee when it starts to heal you will begin to see a scab. That what the white layer is in your throat. Our throat are moist and since its not dry the white layer forms, and when it starts to heal you will see less and less of it. It may become more raw after the white layer has came off. I'm 14 days post-op and very minmal white stuff. Now it hurt like hell to yawn but today was the first time eating solid food :bouncing:. So don't worry about the white stuff. I'm surprise the DR didn't tell you what you would see. My DR told me about that but forgot to mention about the horrible ear pain that started 1 week later. OMG both ears were in so much pain. but the liquid roxicet helped wonders. My hear pain as of 14 days is so much better. Now if I can figure out why it hurts so bad to yawn and my tongue still hurts in the back. I'll ask the Dr this afternoon, 2 week post-op appt.
So don't worry white stuff is normal and ear pain. Hope that helped
