I am 25 years old and until now I did not have many problems with my tonsilles. Unfortunately, it seems that infections have gotten more frequent because of tonsilles, so I guess I will have to remove those. How long should I take off work after tonsillectomy? I am hoping not more than two weeks.
This procedure in adults is quite safe and the healing process lasts from 10 to 14 days, if there are no complications. When we say complication, we think of bleeding (as a result of the premature removal of fibrin layers), bacterial infections etc. It is very important just to listen to doctor’s orders.
