My 11 year old had a tonsillectomy in July. It is now September and he is still complaining that he can't swallow. Has anyone had a kid who experienced difficulty with swallowing two and one-half months after having tonsillectomy and adnoidectomy surgery? The surgeon says his throat looks great, but he is losing weight and can only eat very little at a time. I don't know what to do!Code:

I had a tonsillectomy 10 years ago (I was age 16 at the time of operation) and I have not been able to swallow normally since then. It takes years of learning the right textures that will not make me feel as though I am choking. The good news is, year by year the muscles seem to get a little stronger? Doctors need to understand that this surgery can be more serious than it seems.
