I had a TONSILLECTOMY 4 weeks ago now .The second day of recovery i had sever itching on my hands neck feet the doc told me to stop taking codeine .I did but the itching slowed down . no medicine taken now its been 4 weeks My throat is fine but i started itching on my hands feet neck back some days worse then others .Is this normal after surgery ?
Hi! Yes, itching is one of Codeine side effects, but it should stop after four weeks... I don't know how this itching could be related to your tonsillectomy. Do you take any other medications? This definitely sounds like an allergic reaction to something.
I had my tonsils out on monday. i was nenver put on codein and i was and still am really itchy. my doctor says it relates to the bodys desire to scratch at the raw throat but knowing better than doing it.. it is not fun.
