I'm soon to be 16 years old and am on day 6 since my surgery. Everything has gone really well and have been keeping myself extremely hydrated. Last night (day 5), my scabs started falling off which was great, everything was going well. My mom looked in my mouth and said after a scab fell off, there would be a red spot, not blood, just red like raw, then it would go pink after a little. but, later on like 1am, I have her peak into my mouth with a flashlight and tongue presser one more time before I go to sleep, and she said "theres blood at the surface all over on the right side, I can't even see the scab". So, I've been scared for this bleeding moment since before the surgery. So, I chug down tons of shaved ice and ice cubes and some cold ice water. Then, after 30 mins the bleeding stops and its all dark red back there. At this point, I wanted to just die. I was so scared it would bleed again. It hasn't bled since. at the point, I was very tired and just wanted to sleep but was still scared. I slept here and there until about 10am. I was so nauseous for so long and had heart burn so I finally took a tums and ate small pieces of warm-coldish macarooni and cheese and also some peas. I've been keeping myself hydrated non-stop with ice cold water. The nausea calmed down and barely any heart burn. I also neglected my pain meds for this morning because I'm too scared to get nauseous and not in much pain right now. My ears hurt a bit but nothing crazy. I have an appointment with my ent doctor at 3:15pm, its 1:55pm right now. Basically, I'm scared to bleed again. As long as I don't bleed anymore, I will be perfectly fine and be less stressed. I read tons of posts on here and some say to tell them to make sure I don't bleed again by doing something. I don't know...I just was wondering if I could get some advice and relief and if I should ask/tell my doctor anything important so I don't bleed again. I don't want to be just sent home with the a-okay, I want to be told the truth that I won't bleed anymore after last nights incident. I'm scared. I'm a baby when it comes to this stuff. This surgery was NOT worth it so far. My tonsils weren't even that big compared to others who get theres removed, so why does it have to bleed? It only bled ONCE, but I'm still scared. And not much, just could taste it and took 30 minutes to stop. let me know. I wanna stop things before they get worse. Edit: I also kept myself hydrated all the time so it didnt bleed because I was dehyrdated or food knocked it off. It just all of a sudden bled. Thank you anyone please.
