Im a 19 year old female who had her tonsils out nearly three weeks ago. I have had a dreadful experience so far being made worse by my work demanding I come back to work. I had my tonsils out on the 1st Sept. When I woke up from surgery felt ok, quite sore but ok. I managed to drink some water and eat some yogurt before being allowed home. Day 2 pain getting worse even though I was taking pain killers regualry. I did find that I was sleeping a lot. Days 3 and 4 felt the same however day 4 managed to eat some dinner. Day 5 was unbearable so mum took me to the Dr's he found that the area was imflammed and sent me home with antibiotics however later that night unable to speak or swallow suddenly my mouth filled with blood and I started bleeding. I got rushed to hospital where luckly the bleeding stopped on its own so I was discharged 4 hours later. Bad idea because as soon as I got in it happened again and this time worse I was spitting blood everywhere and at a much faster pace I have never been so scared in all my life. Again got rushed into hospital but this time as I arrived I vommited a huge blood clot that filled up the whole sick bowl so I was rushed into a cubicle. An ENT specalist saw me and luckly the bleeding again stopped by itself. The ENT speaclist couldnt tell me why it had happened but she said she saw some blood clots on the site which she needed to cut away. Whilst awake the speaclist numbed the area as best as she could and with scissors cut the clots which made me gag. After cutting the clots she had to quaterise the area which was so painful. I was then kept in hospital for 2 days to make sure that the bleeding had completely stopped. When I came home I began which I believed to be a period but it lasted for 2 days was extremely painful and was full of clots im not sure if this is due to stress but I am now exhausted. By day 10 I am now meant to be over the period of extreme bleeding which I am grateful for but even to this day I still feel sore, slightly stressed and tired.
Today is day 18 and my Drs note has ran out and work is demanding I show up tomorrow even though I dont feel myself and I am worried that I am going to get an infection. I am stressed out so any advice would be amazing as I have been threatened by work colleauges about turning up to work as the boss is away I cannot speak to him. I intend to go to the Drs monday however until then I am stuck over the weekend.
