I had my tonsils out a week ago and since then I haven't ate or spoke properly, when I try and speak my voice sounds clogged and muffled and it is extremely painful. It's getting quite frustrating now as I haven't had a conversation with someone since last week and I haven't had a proper meal since last Monday, all I can eat are soups, ice cream, scrambled egg etc. But the doctor has given me advice on how to heal it faster and has said that eating rough foods like toast, chips, crisps etc will help remove the scabs without bleeding and will help the throat go back to normal, unfortunately I've been in too much pain to eat rough foods but if you feel up to it, then it's a good way of getting back to Normal, also chewing gum will help the scab come away easier as you will be using swallowing motions more .
