Hi I'm 17 and I'm about to be on day six, it hurts really bad to talk so I don't because my family can't hear me or understand me. I constantly have to blow my nose and spit into a bowl. I throw up in the shower tonight and it was the worst feeling in the world. More of my scabs are falling off and it's disgusting.

16 and starting day 5 of recovery. First 2 days were ok I wasn't very intimidated or afraid of anything but then about 48 hours after the surgery I was that 1 in 1000 or 1% that would bleed. I was sleeping on my bed and felt like a runny nose so like I would usually do I just swallowed the snot but it turned out to be blood. I didn't eat anything I wasn't supposed to and didn't do anything. It was bleeding uncontroablly and I was leaking out blood. Bleeding stops an hour later which is when I get to my surgeon and he asks me to stick to my tongue out and it starts again. So he gives me numbing spray in my throat and he starts burning the sources of the blood. While he's doing it I end up throwing up the blood I swallowed earlier. This goes on for like 20 minutes and is the worst experience of my life by far. I'm afraid to eat anything now besides a little bit of ice cream every now and then and I'm afraid to sleep in my bed because I don't want to bleed again. Liquids build up in my mouth randomly a lot and I always spit it out because I'm afraid it's blood. Hurts to swalllow all the time, constant ear ache when not in pain relievers. Ive lost 10 pounds now and it looks like it'll be at least another week until I can eat again. Hurts and is uncomfortable to talk feels like I'm swallowing my tongue. Regret having the surgery in large part because of my blood situation but even if that didn't happen I would probably regret having it. Only get it if you really need to.

Hi, I'm 26 and had mine taken out three days ago. My family barely understands what I'm saying. My tongue is still a little swollen so I think that's the main cause.
Any ideas on stuff to eat? I'm still on soft foods but already fed up after three days of mashed potatoes and custard

I had my tonsils removed on February 6. It's been almost 3 weeks now, I had a friend tell me that my voice changed. It didn't changed completely, but it has a different sound. I also can't pronounce the "r". I'm a spanish speaker as well, so "carro" , "perro", "rápido" sounds like when a television goes off signal, you know that cacophony sound? The "r" sounds a bit better when I speak English, since I don't have to roll it as much. I hope that this isn't permanent or I'm gonna have to take French classes again since my French pronunciation sounds better now. Ironic.

I am 44 had my tonsils and adnoids removed on Monday. Here it is Thursday and I have to ask anyone know why I cant handle even a popsicle? The phlem is horrible all I can do is cold water. The phlem is causing me to gag and it leads to vomiting im terrified to bust anything to bleed

I am 23 years old and just had my tonsils removed about 6 days ago (last Thursday). All I can say is I am in so much pain today, pain has gone from just in my throat to my ears and jaw. I too, still can't speak yet. I am hoping my voice comes back relatively soon though as all I do in my job is talk (answering doors/phones, paging, organizing deliveries) I really hope i can talk soon and the pain goes away :(

Hi, I just had mine removed 6 days ago. I am feeling the same if it's anything dairy related, maybe try plain old freezies? I find that taking a small bite and letting it it melt is a nice way to cool the throat.
