After having a tonsilectomy...?!


Question: After having a tonsilectomy....?
My girlfriend had her tonsils removed almost 2 months ago, but her throat has swollen and her uvula seems awkwardly small and set farther back in her throat, is this a normal healing process and will correct itself or should she consult a physician.? Thanks.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
This happened after my tonsillectomy too. She needs to call her doctor as he will most likely prescribe antibiotics for a bacterial infection and if he thinks it is too inflamed he will want to see her in the office to have a steroid shot in the bum.

Tonsillectomies take time to heal.. many times 6+ months.Health Question & Answer
