Getting my tonsils out, what to expect?!
Question: Getting my tonsils out, what to expect.?
I just turned 20 and for some odd reason I keep getting tonsillitis. My doctor said if I got it one more time after all the medication he put me on, he'd have to take them out. Well, I got it again! :( So now I have to get them out. How long will I be out of it, no work and no school.? It can't be that long right.?

im 19 and i just got my tonsils out a few monthes ago, i had an absest on my tonsil. yuck. anyways. all you have to expect is a week off from school/work. i was back in 6 days tho. umm youll get liquid pain medicine which helps good, but mix it with something cuz it tastes horrible. the first day you get it done, itll feel fine, i went right to mcdonals after the operation, and was able to eat real food. the second and third day are a lil worse, you wont be able to eat solid foods, so i would say the best thing was italian ice cause it was rly cold and soothed my throat, say no to pudding and yogert cause it leaves a thick feeling in your mouth, the pain should be gone by 2 weeks at the most. ok good luck!!!Health Question & Answer
