Post Tonsillectomy recovery goes wrong
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hey guys. Eight days ago I had my tonsils removed and, according to the doctor, even though mine were the biggest tonsils that he has ever seen, the surgery went well, quick with no bleeding. Pain during the first two days was manageable, I could eat soft food, drink water and talk. However, starting from day three and onward, pain has gotten incredibly worse. Even though I am taking Pinex Forte (codein and paracetamol) and Voltaren (both as suppositories) the pain is unbearable. Not only that, but last time I ate was more than 36 hours ago and I can barely sleep 1-2 hours each night/morning. Two times I woke up dehydrated, with horribly thick white scabs on my tongue and inside the mouth and when I tried to sip a few drops of water, I started bleeding and I had to go to the E.R. They kept me under observation, got IV'ed and sent back home. Even though I told them several times that even under observation pain was unbearable and I did not sleep, they did not seem to listen. Also, pain gets so much worse at night and in the morning that I could not stop from crying for the first time in years. Now I am weak, lost weight, cannot stand on my feet and got cold flashes. Any advice would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks to everyone.
