What could be wrong if you keep coughing but you don't have a cold and you just got your tonsils out?
Any irritation to the throat, bronchial tubes or lungs can cause a cough. Having your tonsils removed definitely irritates your throat and can cause a cough. However, to know for sure what is causing the cough and to find out if the cough could cause a problem after the recent tonsillectomy (such as trigger bleeding), it would be good to contact the surgeon who removed your tonsils and report the cough for them to determine what, if any, treatment you may need.
Where does the pus on your tonsils come from?
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.
Will hot water help with tonsil swelling?
No, and it could make it worse. Heat should not be applied to anything swollen. Swelling is usually helped by cold, not heat. But if it is your tonsils, you may need to find out if you need to have them removed.
Why is a tonsillectomy ok for kids not adults?
Some adults do have tonsillectomies. It's not that tonsillectomies are only suitable for kids, it's that if the person is going to need their tonsils out they will generally know about it when they are quite young (too many throat infections already so it's decided they should be removed). The patients just tend to find out early so don't keep their tonsils to adulthood, so never have them removed when they're adults.

Can tonsils disappear?
They can fall out. One of my husband's did after a bad infection and he swallowed it. - true story. lol Yes, this is weird, but true! My father was running on the playground as a kid and he sort of coughed with his head turned and they flew out. He never could find them on the ground or anything, but when he was examined by a doctor, they weren't there! And my aunt, his sister, coughed hers up into her hand as a child. Their aunt did the same thing, I think she was an adult, though. It must run in my family, but I'm glad I didn't inherit that particular trait!
