Hello. After tonsillectomy, there is usually pain lasting from 10 days to 2 weeks, if there is no fever, no bleeding, it is not too much of a worry, the difference in pain on the right or left side is not too important, many patients the pain spreads up. ear.
However, 6-10 days after tonsillectomy is the period when the pseudomembranous detachment is most likely to cause bleeding or infection, you should go back to your doctor to check for more peace of mind.
