Hello,
Three weeks ago I had to remove my tonsils.
Everything is fine, except one problem... About one week after I had the surgery, I got a cold. Ever since then, the cold is still there and it doesn't seem to go away at all. The thing is that it's winter and the air is very cold. My room temperature is normal though. I feel that if it was summer, things were much better. :yawn:
When I breath, I feel the air very cold - passing through my throat. When I wake up in the morning, it's the worst! My nose is full of mucus because it is accumulated during the night. At night when I sleep the cold is even worst, especially *in* the throat. I feel that this is the worst period of all day, probably because the body has no major activity to keep itself warmer. I do not know exactly what happens though, but the night period is the worst. When I go to bed at night I wonder how I'll be in the morning.
My question is... have any of you who had a tonsillectomy in the past experienced anything like this? I am especially asking those of you who had the surgery during the winter. Will this go away soon?
The surgery went very good, though the place where the tonsils were located hasn't fully healed yet. But it's very close to this.
Thank you very much,
Lucian
