My doctor didnt answer some questions i have. I am a 22 Year old Female I had my tonsillectomy 11 days ago and I dont know when i can have soft drinks because of the carbonation, when can i have wine and alcohol, when can i use mouth wash... when can i have solid foods? A lot of questions went un answered.
Any answers you could give me i would really appriciate.
Thanks! |

| i've been wondering the same thing, i'm an 18 year male and i'm only on day 7 now, but i feel really good. i think that i'm going to try drinkin in the next 2 or 3 days, i think i'm healing a lot faster than everybody else for some reason. a lot of people have said they were still in pain for 2 weeks after, and i hardly have any pain at all. |

| My son just had tonsillectomy 9 days ago. His surgeon said no carbonated drinks, caffeine, or alcohol for 2 weeks. Of course, he is still in so much pain that he can barely get down water and gatorade. |

| Our 21 year old daughter had her tonsils and adnoids out 10 days ago and has been to the emergence room twice due to dehydration, excessive pain and inability to swallow due to swelling. It has been a nightmare and she is still sick. Our 23 year old had hers out in May and was better in a week. This one is still suffering from extreme throat and ear pain and has now developed an upset stomach, probably due to all the meds, I assume. |

It will be 3 weeks on Thursday and I still can't eat normally. Chloreseptic with the goo in the middle are the best things going. They don't burn; just numb and they don't have menthol in them so they aren't yucky.
Best advice I can give you....take your pain medicine religiously and drink lots of water!
Good luck to you! |

I am 26 years old and I had my tonsils out on January 28th, two weeks ago today. I was terrified beforehand, reading posts of from people in severe and excruciating pain. I am here today to post because for all of you who are nervous or as terrified as I was: Do NOT cancel, and just do it. It really wasn't all that bad!
Sure, it hurts. But eat as many ice chips as you can handle, stay hydrated, and get an ice pack for under your neck/chin area, and get a heating pad for your ears. Drink until you can drink no more! Brothy soups, powerade, popsicles and ice cream all helped me out tremendously. Mashed potatoes were tough, I could only do them after my pain meds, and oddly enough, pudding was the worst and made my throat very sticky.
If you're nervous, please, take a deep breath and know that once it is over, you'll never have to deal with all of the tonsil crap again. The pain won't be as bad as you think (and I am a pain BABY! so please believe me. I was pleasantly surprised), and it'll be a huge relief just to have this done and behind you. |
