Just had uvula and tonsils removed about 5 days ago... just want to compare my experience. (had them removed for sleep apnea)
I can only eat things like jello and sorbet with minimal pain, and I know i'm not drinking as much as I should, but it hurts so damn much. I'm taking a 10 ml dose of liquid codeine (5mg / ml) every 4-6 hours or so, and oh gods, the oxycontin, the oxycontin is beautiful and wonderful, 10-20mg every 12 hours.
Just wanna know... did you ever have ear pain when swallowing?
Let's see...
When I swallow, I sometimes have trouble getting it all down... it's like a tiny bit remains in my throat or maybe higher up. Will I have to deal with that forever? I'm sure I can learn, but it could get annoying.
Any other things that could help eliminate the pain?
Anyone have advice for me on this anywhere? I'd love some!

Hello: I am investigating as much as possible, to find out what the after effects of removal of the uvula, tonsils, etc., entail. I don't see any response, and it is now a year later, after your surgery. I am an actress and singer, and am concerned that this ENT doctor so easily says I will have better air flow, but cannot give me more info on whether or not my vocal ability on the Broadway stage will be altered or obstructed. Can you give me an update on how you are doing? The doctor didn't even give me a recovery time. I must also have my deviated septum corrected.
I had tonsils taken out with laser a month ago. When will I get better?
