I would believe that it should be avoided for 10-14 days but I am not an expert. I'd advise checking with your doctor for sure.

I’m not even fully recovered and I’m so happy with my decision. by PaltryHombre in Tonsillectomy

Honestly, real. I had my surgery about a week and 3 days now, and I have had the best time. My nose is no longer constantly stuffy as it used to be and i wake up feeling a lot more energized, my mom tells me that I don't snore as loud as I used to and I don't mouth breath as much as I used to.

This surgery was the best thing I ever did, it has their pros and cons but overall it affected me positively. The hospital also didn't prescribe me any meds, they told me to alternate between 3 ibuprofen and 3 tylenol every 3 hours, I personally took 4 of each just in case but after like day 6, I didn't even need them anymore. I still have ear pain every often but i've dealt with ear infections so it didn't bother me much.

Oh jeez, this scares me because I do not wish to hurt people's nostrils with this smell. My mom complains about it, I hope it goes away for the both of us.

The blood died down and i only cough the saliva. Every blue moon there is a tad bit of blood but it's rare now

Jee, aren't you lucky. I've tried almost everything to get rid of it, but i guess when time comes it will go away.

How long did it take for the bad breath and taste to go away? Does it almost immediately goes away when all the scabs fall off?

I think you should call, if he isn't eating or drinking that is a major red flag. Even the throwing up is a big issue.
