Is Scabbing During Tonsillectomy Recovery A Cause For Concern?

Hi I m on day 7 of my tonsillectomy recovery and today I noticed scabbing like normal but I also noticed a black spot on it that looks kind of circular. Is this something to be worried about? (P.s on day 6 I coughed up. A huge chunk if not, a whole scab)

Hello,

There is nothing to worry about! The black spot that you have noticed comes from electro-cauter that is used during surgery to stop bleeding.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
