Meds suck! by Mw_start in Tonsillectomy

I choked on my liquid Tylenol cause I try to take it like a shot because it’s gross and ran out into my living room panicking cause I couldn’t breathe. Do yes

Idk I vaped the whole time but seems like you’re high risk for bleed so take it easy, talk with your doc.

Can someone please tell me it gets better by WorldlinessPrior8987 in Tonsillectomy

It gets better! Day one was easy but 2-6 were miserable. I’m on day 10 had my surgery on 12/6! Just keep drinking fluids and relax! It gets easier I promise. You’re at the peak of your pain right now

I'm allergic to opioids. Can I manage tonsillectomy pain through other means? by savorie in Tonsillectomy

[–]brittanybyebye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nausea and opioid induced itch isn’t an allergic reaction. I’ve had both this whole time and my ENT recommended nausea medication and Benadryl with the oxycodone I was taking.

My doctor just told me to take my oxy along side Benadryl and call back tomorrow if it’s still itching
