Hi! My good friend had a tonsillectomy few days ago. Fist day after surgical procedure he started to complain that he could not breathe well. His doctor tells him that he will be ok, it’s just meter of time. I’m worried. Does anybody can tell me is it usual having breathing problems after tonsillectomy?

Hi! Two years ago I had tonsillectomy and then I read a lot about tonsillitis and surgical treatment. As I know, it’s not normal to have breathing problems after tonsillectomy. It is maybe a consequence of anesthesia. The most common risk of any anesthesia is breathing problems. He should ask his doctor about that.
