I was just wondering when it's safe to start smoking again after having a tonsillectomy. I'm on day 11 of my recovery and I'm feeling way better, with almost no pain now. I even stopped taking pain meds three days ago. Any advice?

Question

I've had these Circumvallate papillae for about 5 years, and just last Thursday, after dinner, I noticed some new bumps forming behind them. I'm not someone who smokes or drinks. I even attached a couple of images for you to seethe first highlights these bumps in red, located right behind the junction of the Circumvallate papillae, and the second should help pinpoint exactly where they are. It's tough to get an appointment with an ENT right now. I'm just wondering, does this sound normal to you, or should I be worried enough to try harder to see a doctor? I'm dealing with anxiety over this and it's affecting my sleep. I'm really hoping you can help me understand what's going on.
