Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Forum - One Month After Tonsillectomy And Still a Wierd Bump

Hey, I had surgery for removal of my tonsills a month ago. Almost all is healed, smooth and just a little red, except I have a wierd bump on one side where my tonsil was. It is almost feeling like a canker sore and has a little white dot on it. Do you think this is just not healed yet? Left over tonsil? Infection?? Or is this normal in the healing stage. I called my doctor and he told me to wait a little before I made an appointment, but it has been a month already. Anyone??
Thanks.
