My 11 yr old son blew the artery on the left side of his tonsillectomy site. Blood was about 2 cups worth and not stopping
Gargle ice water per MD instructions for 30 minutes with ambulance on standby. Not for the faint of heart. It was the most terrifying thing to do as a mother- watch your child bleed not k owing if they will survive. Please only do this surgery I'd you are a 'textbook case' . I you really really have to do it.
My advice: push ice cold fluids and keep a huge jug of ice water on standby at all times. I watch my child sleep all night looking for any choking.

My 17 year old son just had the same experience. Absolutely terrifying. He was airlifted to a hospital 100 miles away for emergency surgery!
