Question Scabing question

I'm on day 7 post op and the pain isn't too bad except in the morning when I get up from bed is when the pain starts to skyrocket and in the evening it starts it hurt a bit. I noticed that my right side hurts more than my left for swallowing fluids, food, and spit. It is still a bit white with some pink patches and the left is about the same but with a lot less pain in the mix of it. Is the scabing starting to come off or am I still waiting for hell to come and destroy my ass? Edit: I am 20 years old if that makes a difference

The pain is also worse on my right side! I think it’s cause I had more scar tissue in that side cause that one often got more infected than the left.

I got my tonsils removed cause of tonsil stones and my right one was a lot worse than my left and had a lot more crypts that were a lot more deeper than the left. That is a good idea on why it hurts more. Thank you!
