Does tonsillectomy hurt really bad afterwards?!


Question: Does tonsillectomy hurt really bad afterwards?
Does it hurt as much as having strep throat? If yes, for how many days?

Answers:

yea i hurts i got mine out at seven , but i only cried cause i saw this huge splat of blood on my robe as soon as i woke up lol.

but hey i dosnt hurt as much as strep throat (have had that too many times ) lol and you get to eat ice cream , cause thats all your allowed :DD



it hurt much WORSE than having strep throat in my opinion. even with the narcotic pain killers they give you it hurst like heck!

i'll break down my pain levels day by day to give you an idea of what your recovery may be like. i'll give it to you on a scale of 1-10
day 1 and 2 (2-10)
day 3 (4-10)
day 4, 5, 6, 7 (10-10)
day 8 and 9 (4-10)
day 10 (2-10)
by day 12 i was pretty much back to normal.

i'm 24 and i had my tonsils out in 2009.



It does, but pain relievers can help.
