Hi I just had a tonsillectomy 29/3/2018 they used the coblation method less heat more precise i was told I’m on day 2 recovery and whiles taking Tramadol and solpadeine as given by my ENT I’m not in much pain and iv that feeling in back of throat also but he did say this would happen and said eating rough food cornflakes tayto etc after the first 3 hours of surgery will help break that feeling away if not it’ll take a lot longer so my advice is eat rough food at the peek after taking the pain relief it won’t hurt and it’ll help hope this helps people I’m 35 year old and so far doing ok off work also for 2 weeks rest water food and when not eating chew on chewing gum strengthen the mouth
