Hello! I just had my tonsillectomy yesterday. I'm 20, and have definitely been mentally preparing for the worst pain of my life. My doctors/nurses said that day 3 is the absolute worst, though, which is why some of y'all might feel horrific right now. Also, I have a humidifier in my room that seems to help a lot since it keeps some moisture in the air so my throat doesn't dry out to bad. I've been getting up every couple hours all day and night to take my pain meds/Benadryl on time (I broke out in bad hives right after surgery from morphine.) my uvula is about 5 times as big as usual, and I often wake up choking and gagging on it. It looks like a huge blister that could burst at anytime, but someone on here had mentioned there was only 1/3 of best...oh boy, my dad will flip out...
