You are probably very dehydrated. If your urine is a very dark yellow, either force fluids or call your doc and ask if you need some IV replacement fluids.
The best way to get the pain from a tonsillectomy under control is to make sure you stay hydrated.

Ummm let me see.....call your doctor. I am not sure that any pain unrelieved by theprescribedd medication would be "normal". You are not the first patient they have done the surgery on so I am sure they wouldn't give you medication that wouldn't help. Call your dr. that would be the sensible thing to do!Health Question & Answer
Losing 18 pounds in one week is serious... as well if the pain medications aren't helping with the pain I would seriously consider seeing your doctor today. If your doctor cannot see you today, go to an ER.Health Question & Answer
