Tonsillectomy

I played soccer 11 days after my tonsillectomy, im 18 if that helps at all. My doctor told me absolutely no sports for 14 days, and when i asked if 11 days was ok, he had told me that he had to do a blood transfusion because another girl's had bursted open.

I played anyway, i think it all depends on how your feeling. I felt absolutely fine, but i would use your own personal judgement.

It takes approximately three weeks to return to work after an adult tonsillectomy.

Because it is one of a symptom of that disease.

Your gag reflexes should not be affected by having your tonsils removed.

Your tonsils swell up and might have a white film on them in dots

No but i did and it helps to not getting a sore throat but its best if you do it when your younger, i was 3 when i got them out. But you could still get them when your older its just better when your younger : )

Aorta rupture after a tonsillectomy is extremely rare but can occur due to several factors, including severe hypertension, underlying vascular abnormalities, or trauma during the surgical procedure. Surgical manipulation might inadvertently damage nearby structures or blood vessels, leading to a rupture. Additionally, pre-existing conditions such as atherosclerosis or connective tissue disorders could predispose a patient to vascular complications post-surgery. Prompt recognition and management are crucial to prevent severe complications.

My daughter's was removed in Oct 2011 and We were told in March 2012 that it is starting to grow back already. So I guess the answer is Yes they can. She has the same issues as she did before her first surgery. If someone has had this happen before please post, I would like to know the out come and what was done the second time around. Also If any Md's know what could cause them to be growing back so fast we have had her checked for allergies with over 150 skin test and blood test. Also I have had her checked by a GI and scoped which showed nothing but chronic gastritis. Which Gi doc says wouldn't cause Lingual tonsils to have regrowth. I am really concerned and need some answers..... Please post with any info at all.. I don't want to put her through this surgery again if we have any other options.

Just be as healthy as possible (diet, sleep, & exercise if your doctor permits), and be patient. The cells are damaged in radiation, and new cells need time to multiply and regenerate where the loss occured.

No,You Just need Your Tonsils Removed.But If you have a big Uvula too You might need to remove it.

About one in every fifteen thousand tonsillectomies ends in death, either from the anesthesia or from bleeding to death five to seven days after the operation.

yes your ears hurt VERY bad, and this is normal!

Hi there, I had my tonsils removed 5 months ago because of my tonsil stones.

Tonsil stones are actually a build up of plaque, bacteria and any other debris that finds its way to the small concave shaped holes in your tonsils.

You can have the tonsil stones removed by any hospital/a&e however they would probably recommend to have your tonsils removed all together which I promise you is a lot better.

I suffered with tonsil stones and tonsillitis for my whole life and I am so glad I had them removed.

Go to your GP and tell them about the stones, they will refer you to the hospital to either get your tonsils or the stones removed

NO IT IS DEFINATELY NOT NORMAL

No, getting your tonsils removed is not dangerous. All your tonsils do is help with your immunity, if you get them removed it will not be a big deal. Hope this helped:)

They are not. They actually form a ring around the back of the mouth to help to protect the body from food that may be infected.

(Sorry, people never ate grass only).

This doesn't mean that you need to remove your tonsils, you just have to get quick medication from your doctor, if its very bad then you will need to get your tonsils removed, and it sometimes depends on your age but if your old enough theres no need to remove them.

Certainly. With most surgical incisions nerves will be cut, and therefore it is possible that nerve damage will occur.

no if you had more than 5 i think you should get your tonsils removed no if you had more than 5 i think you should get your tonsils removed

I had my tonsils out when I was eight years old. You dont feel anything in the surgery because they put you to sleep. When you wake up it does hurt when you swallow and your throat is going to be sore for awhile. But you can eat ice cream afterwards. You might throwup afterwards, I did because of the stuff they gave me to put me asleep.





Before you go to the operating theatre, an anaesthetist will come and see you and listen to your chest and ask about your health. He will prescribe a pre-med, which will make you feel sleepy and will dry up your mouth.

You will go to theatre and you will be put under anaesthetic, usually by a small injection into your vein. When the anesthetist is satisfied that you are properly asleep, he will tell the surgeon that it is OK to go ahead with the surgery. The anaesthetist keeps a check on your blood pressure and heart rate while the surgeon is operating.

After they are finished, you will be wheeled into a Recovery Room, where you will be looked after by qualified staff until you come round. They will keep checking your pulse and vital signs. When they are satisfied with your condition, either the surgeon or the anaesthetist will check your condition and sign you out of theatre. You won't usually remember this part. You will usually think you woke up back in the ward.

Yes, it does hurt for a few days afterwards. But you will be given a prescription for pain relieving medication, and they are pretty good these days, so it shouldn't be too bad. You may be surprised at how much your general health improves after the surgery, and that improvement makes it worthwhile.

I wish you all the best.

Yes it can! - If you have your tonsils out and your adenoids and uvula remain, the new air flow pattern can cause "snoring". The adenoids and uvula could have been supported by the large tonsil structure that is no more and together with your enlarged airway can cause new oscillations. Consult your physician and ask for a referral to an "ENT" (Ear, Nose, Throat) specialist that they would recommend.

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.

What I've heard from a friend was that Miley Cyrus did get her tonsils removed!I wounder what she sounded like when she did have tonsils...TO BE CONTINUED...
