| Re: To any one who has had their tonsil out.....
I just had mine out. I'm 23. I had pretty bad infections as a kid. In 2001 I had a really, really bad infection.. I went to the ER to get IV anti-biotics because it would not go away and I could barely eat/drink/talk.
That infection enlarged my tonsils and such being they developed crypts and I started to suffer nasty tonsil stones (those white, mushy chunks which consist of food/bacteria/dead cells).
So, I got them out about 2 weeks ago. Piece of cake. It's day six now and I can eat solid foods rather easily. There is still just a slight bit of discomfort.
Yes, you will have the worst sore throat ever for a few days. It's not too bad, though. I did not even take the pain medications they prescribed, mainly because I am against taking any unnecessary medicine. I don't want to jack my body up.
It's no big deal. The operation takes like 20 minutes and you are outta there.
The worst thing of it all I think is that the first few days, my saliva production skyrocketed because of the healing process, and I constantly had to spit out saliva. I had to keep a garbage can or cup with me at all times.
Because of that, sleeping was a bit tough. Once I finally managed to fall asleep among having to spit, I'd wake up in a pool of slober. LOL. Quite funny actually.
That is all. Hope that helps.
