I am 25 and I am getting my tonsils out about a week before Thanksgiving. My doctor said the pain is worse on the 7th day for adults. The only thing I would worry about if I was you was that deferred ear pain that I've heard about. I'm sure the 15th day will not be too horrible pain-wise. He told me I could go back to work in a week....

It depends... Sometimes the tonsils are infected with bacteria (tonsillitis) and pus will drain out. If this is recurring, there might be an indication to have them removed (tonsillectomy). It you find that what is coming out is hard and white but your throat doesn't hurt, you might simply have tonsils with crypts in which food particles get stuck.
