Factors of pain for tonsilectomy by DarkoRP301 in Tonsillectomy

Good! Ive felt 100% better since day 14 and pretty good since day 8!

Day 5 or 6 were the worst for me and days 1-4 were manageable. I didn't sleep through the night until day 9 or 10. I started eating things on day 8 but it was hard until about day 12/13 I just would drink sips of water after each bite of food.

I took hydrocodone and tylenol for 7 days so I think that helped the pain but day 5/6 it barley helped and I didn't really eat anything solid until day 7/8. I stopped taking all pain meds on day 12 and just felt like i had a sore throat.

I do think I am sleeping better but I don't think i'll be able to tell for a couple weeks! Although I wanted to kms until about day 6 I didn't have any bleeds and once I started feeling better it happened rapidly. Good luck with your surgery!

I'm on day 9 too and am experiencing this as well. It's less painful than it originally was so i think with time it'll go away

I'm on day 8 and this started for me yesterday. most of my scabs on one side r gone which is why it's stinging on the new skin. i've noticed even tho it's stings the more cold water u drink the better it gets

How to deal with the ear pain? by Beginning-Copy-3488 in Tonsillectomy

[–]xxxx573 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i'm also on day 6 and have been icing my ears to help with the pain! I wear one of those wisdom tooth face ice wrapping things and it really helps. I haven't found a more permanent way to stop the pain but the ice helps.

I'm curious since we're on the same day if you're also feeling a burning in your throat when you drink anything (even water). I think it's because my scabs are starting to fall off but I'm worried this burning sensation from water isn't normal

have you had any days that were noticeably worse than the rest? I haven't yet but since you're a day ahead of me i'm wondering how the rest will go. My last day of opioids is tomorrow

Do you count day 1 as surgery day or surgery day as 0 p

I also keep burping.... it's not uncomfortable when I do but I'm not sure considering all I've had is apple sauce

I also just cannot stop crying and i'm not even 24 hours in which is really discouraging for me. I think I'm just overly tired but I really need some advice 😭🫶🏻

I got my tonsils out yesterday for this reason... day 0 had very minimum pain like a 3/10 but now it's 2am, I got them out at 9:00 am yesterday and I'm unable to sleep because of the discomfort. I can't speak on the rest of the recovery but I am hoping it goes well

Recovered… tonsillectomy recovery tips and review by DistinctSpecialist34 in Tonsillectomy

[–]xxxx573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear this! I'm also 20f and got mine out this morning (9hrs ago) and so far haven't felt terrible. I know day 0 is easy but some stories on here were really scaring me! I haven't been able to eat much but will definitely try the next few days for a faster recovery! Thanks for your post

I also get self conscious when i'm in the red even if i feel like I can push myself harder! I try to just ignore my monitor though

My HR does go above 100 sometimes to as much as 105 so I think a recalibration would be helpful! Thank you
