Last week I got the surgery done and ever since then I feel like crap. I got my tonsils removed AND something in my nose. Blood clots were all up in my nose and I was bleeding all the time. Luckily my doctor kinda fixed that. Now I’m just dealing with the sharp pain in my throat. What should I do? It’s like all white back there, with hints of black stuff. Like when I swallow, it hurts and same thing when I drink liquids. When I drink stuff, the pain will last for a good 30 sec. I usually gather up my saliva and swallow at the same time and/or spit it in a cup.

I mean, is this normal? Should this be happening? How long will the process take?

I am 10 years old and I am going to get my tonsils removed Thursday and I am so scared. If you have gotten this done tell me the whole story please begginning to end. I am begging you. I have been told by everybody that the pain is really bad and I am in tears because of how scared I am.
PLEASE!!

Im 17 and Im getting my tonsils taken out in a few days and im wondering whatll happen, ive heard that you can be screwd either with them in or out and that either way im gonna have problems, theyve been swollen like hell for the past 6 months, longest i remember, and i was wanting to know some of the extreme complications during the surgery, like Will i wake up during the surgery and expireience my throat being chopped out? Or will i die during surgery? Or how bad is the pain, and i also heard that it keeps you from eating and you cant talk and it screws with your voice tone,Im very paranoid , not scared, but my mom had hers taken out when she was a few years younger and shes been having problems an infections every since

But im not sure if i should because if i leave them in my throat will seal up and ill die or if i take them out ill get AIDS and all those wcky diseases, Oh and i was told not to eat anything after midnight, anyone know why?

So I had my tonsils removed, Monday December 14th. I am still in a lot of pain and was wondering if anyone knew how long it takes to recover from the whole situation. My mom keeps telling me by tomorrow because it will be up to a full week; but the doctor said a few days after the surgery.

its been 8 days after surgery and i ran out of pain medicine and someone told me to take ibruprofen for the pain. The reason i’m asking this is because i was reading were it said not to take aspirin because it could cause excess bleeding in the throat and could be deadly and i was seeing if ibuprofen would be safe. Thank you

i’m into hard-core snoring, especially when i’m tired or have cold. its been disturbing my family’s sleep for pretty long. i went to see the ENT doctor, who after diagnosing me suggested that my tonsil is the one of the main obstructions in my sleep. at that time my heart and lungs have to work all the more, so that i get proper oxygen. i’m 37 now and the doctor said that because of heart and lungs overworking, i may land up with my first-heart-attack by 50. thus i should have my tonsil removed which stop the obstruction in the intake of my oxygen and also will put an end to the tonsilitis which i frequently get during winters. i’m just not sure, as whether a tonsil removal, is the soln., to my snoring and its surgery would not result in any other unseen problems.

Please do not answer if you are under the age of 25 because my ENT said that after the age of 25, tonsil surgery pain is increased by tenfold. Don’t tell me how after 4 or 5 days you started getting better because I am on day 6 and it is getting worse. Is anyone else having the same excrutiating experience that I am having? If so, please tell me how you are coping with the pain. I am 27 years old, 6′3", 220 lbs and I have a very high pain tolerance but this is absolutely ridiculous. It hurts to breathe, I can’t swallow water because my tongue is swollen, and I especially can’t eat. Somebody please help me.

My granddaughter has been on an apnea monitor since 4 months of age. Her most recent sleep study indicates Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea. In otherwords, they say her tonsils are too big and need to be removed.

I am curious if other children who have had this surgery had any difficulties with the surgery and/or recovery because of their age?

My son is 5 yrs old and had problems with extremely enlarged tonsils and adenoids.
The tonsils have come for the first time in his entire 5 yrs but the the adenoid problem persists from last two years. He snores during sleep and has a hard time breathing at night sometimes. He also has a problem with choking. The pediatric ENT Advised us today go for the surgery to remove both adenoids and tonsils. Is it better just to get it done together or just go for adenoid surgery right now ? Please advise us.

I just turned 51 years old and had my tonsils and adenoids removed in 1961. The doctor had left tissue on my right side and a tonsil "pocket" grew back many years ago. My ENT scheduled surgery this Tuesday to remove it and a questionable tumor in my throat. I have been on the computer all day looking up adult tonsil surgery and reading all the horror stories. Will my "regrown" tonsil removal hurt as much as an adult regular tonsil/adenoid removal? Is there anything I can do to control clotting or bleeding entering my stomach?
Thank you for all reasonable answers..

i got mine taken out just yesterday, and the doctors said i was a perfect patient i didn’t have any signs of blood after surgery and i didn’t feel any ear pains i woke up like how i would wake up to a sore throat. so i was perfectly fine but when i got home i started to have the urge to cough cause i think i feel mucus in the back of my throat but i still haven’t coughed even though i want to. so please, answer my question

I’m going for my tonsilectomy end of this month n i’m scare.. I having sore throat twice a month n is always swell up espeacially on my left side even with antibiotic course won’t work. My age is 24yrs old n i’m obese. Is there any complication after the surgery?

Question says it all.

By healthy I mean no icecreams and puddings and jellows etc… I want foods to actually substitute for meals.. so far I got

V8
Tapioka pudding
Kraft Dinner (not healthy, but its a meal)
cottage cheese
mashed potatoes

Any more ideas?

I know it’s painful and all of the disadvantages. What were the ADVANTAGES for you? I’d like to hear some good stories to go into surgery with a halfway decent attitude about the whole thing. Thank you in advance to all that share.

I have had this problem for years. Anyone that suffers the same condition will know how unpleasant it is.

Are there any dietary issues involved with this condition?
How do you expel the nasty stuff?

HELP…..its really affecting my confidence and self esteem. Not to mention the disgusting discomfort of having "something" stuck in your throat all the time!! YUCK

I have white clumps attached to my tonsils, and every once and a while I cough them up. What can I do to get rid of them? Are they causing my bad breathe as well?

I had a tonsil surgery last week and I have been eating soup, ice cream, Popsicle, etc. and I am sick of it all :[
Are there any other soft foods that I can eat instead?
Please help!!

I am a 25 year old male. I had my tonsils removed and a septoplasty about a month ago. Salty foods like bacon and cheese taste different now. Sweet foods like candy and ice cream taste the same. My doctor told me it was not related, but I have to dis-agree. Has anyone else experinced this?

I have to have tonsil surgery tomorrow and I want to know what happens before, during, and after the surgery

I am having my tonsils, adenoids, and sinus surgery on Thursday and I am 28 years old. I have heard the older you are the more painful it is! I also would like to know how long does the surgery usually take? I have a lot of health problems and I am afraid I may not recover as well! I have really really high blood pressure and I think they are going to do the surgery and send me straight home. I am very scared please help!!!
