I had my tonsils ut on the 25th of april. Im now at the end of day 8 and im not sure what my tonsils are supposed to look like ir be doing! I also had my deviated septum and my turbinites in my nose fixed at the same time! I am a heavy smoker and I didnt quit(I should have). I am 25 years old and a female and my throat still hurts tremendously. I am on my last day of my 3rd bottle od liquid pain medicenes percocet and vicodine every 4 hous which I take more frequently thant that sometimes every 3 hours. I get vicodin every month on a regular basis pill form and I just got those filled. The only problem it still hurts to swallow a pill oatmeal,grits,bread, cottage cheese. Also I heard there are supposed to be scabs? I do not know what they look like or are supposed to be. Ther area where they were is Lime green I dont know but if i were to touch it, it would come off kind of like soft mucous. Is lime green color normal?Are theses the scabs? Am i supposed to stilll be in tons of pain? My doctor is a little funny about giving pain meds and i would not like to have to call him tommorow to ask for another bottle of liquid pain meds b/c i have my pills but it hurts to swallow them. I tried one and that was it. My ent doctors nuse said a few days ago to my primary doctor i could start trying to swallow pills but it still hurts like hell. I dont know what to do and what the scabs are supposed to be like hard/soft and what color? And why does the pain seem as bad as the day after i had it done? Someone please help!
