Those who have had a tonsilectomy.........?!


Question: It is day 12 of recovery for me. My throat doesn't hurt all that bad anymore. I tried to eat some normal food (hamburger meat, fries, baked chicken) and it always feels like it is getting stuck in my throat. Did you experience this and if so how long did it last?

Yeah, I remember that. I had my tonsils out when I was 21 and had a long recovery. When I finally started eating regular foods, I remember getting worried that stuff was getting stuck in the back of my throat, but it's not. It just feels that way because it is brushing up against the healing/scabby area back there. It lasts for a few more days. Be sure to drink lots of fluids just to make sure that nothing is getting stuck back there though and don't eat stuff that's too sticky (like thick gooey foods) or dry and crunchy until that feeling goes away just to be extra careful.
