I was on pain meds for about two weeks after my surgery but it still hurt to eat for over a month afterwards. It wouldn't hurt to give your surgeon a call and let them know what's going on. They might want you to come in so they can give a quick look.

Yeah I am going in for a check up in august because he wants to make sure everything is healing properly. But I didn't think I would be getting sick like this so soon after.

hiya well i had a tonsillectomy a few years back and i know and can remember the pain and how long it took to feel 100¾tter...but with saying that i feel you should try and get an appointment sooner than the one already made for august just incase you have developed an infection in the scar tissue, its probably nothing and youve caught a cold and its just making the throat sore with it but best to get it checked out i would say, asending good wishes to you to feel better soon!loopy.

Hi there

I had a tonsilectomy a couple of years ago, and while the intital two weeks were agony,it took a good couple of months before everything felt normal. You've had an open wound in your throat that is taking its time to heal, with "scabs" sloughing off. Scar tissue is developing, and it can feel tight and sore, and dry and uncomfortable, particularly in the mornings as you tend to breathe differently for a while.

I remember it took me about 3 months to be able to sneeze normally!

Get your doctor to check that everything is healing normally, but really don't be worried, it's a horrible surgery to have as an adult and does take time to get back to normal.

Take care!
