Something that helped me ENDLESSLY was liquid Tylenol and liquid ibuprofen- alternate between those two every 3 hrs and there was NO pain. Never had to take the emergency prescribed meds my doctor gave me, thank goodness because that is what would make me nauseous. Try to avoid having to use those at all costs, that way you're not getting nauseous. I didn't get sick the whole time!! Also, POPSICLES, ALOE WATER, APPLE SAUSE POUCHES, and PUDDING!! Nothing more needs to be said about those things, they were my holy grailllll in my recovery. If you are eating soft foods with dairy in them, chase every bite with a liquid, so phlegm doesn't build up!! Wishing you all a quick + and safe recovery!!

[@Girlpoprobloxvideos]

Yea same that’s what I’m doing

[@mollyandpinkyplayingroblox2392]

Ok lol but I have genetics that make it so it ( the pain meds) works more weakly

[@gutsfinky]

FYI, public service announcement: NEVER take more than the dosage of Tylenol on the bottle. With some pain relievers you can legitimately take more and it won't do any long term damage, but tylenol/acetaminophen overdose is VERY easily done, and causes irreparable, very rapid liver damage. The only cure is an immediate liver transplant, which almost never happens.

[@RainLuvsDragons-orAva]

That’s what I do 2! I’m on day 5 and I have no pain currently. Everyone says days 5x10 hurt the most because it starts scabbing but I feel no pain

[@tristanp07265]

I had mine done 7 days ago. The pain wasn’t too bad, very tolerable with the medications. My throat didn’t hurt, just my jaw and ears. On day 6 I had bleeding and spend 14 hours in the ER getting TXA and cauterization, now I’m in excruciating pain, every swallow feels like I’m being stabbed.

[@farrenz3333]

It was absolute hell for 7 days. Worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my 18 years of life. Lost 10 pounds, started vomiting, literally could not swallow. Scabs fell off and day 8 was the first day I felt a little better. Each day after that got better and now I feel great. It’s INCREDIBLY worth it tho bc I no longer snore, get tonsil stones, tonsillitis, sore throats, and it’s way easier to breathe.

[@mackenzie-f5i]

dude that’s crazy, I got mine removed like 2 days ago and I’m tryna watch videos to see if anyone else is having as much trouble as I am and it seems like we twinning w the recovery. Hot helps better than cold, can barely open my mouth, my tongue is swollen, and i can barely swallow anything 😭

So I'm on day 10 , i feel fine - I'm back to work. Waking up it was pain level of 7, took my meds, ate some frozen yogart bars, lots of ice and water (even iced coffee). I swallowed my food on one side more than the other and the scabs look good, still thick on the other . Just relax, the worst was 1-5 days for me.

[@EVOGenesis666]

@Travelsandmore333 so I'm about 2 weeks in and healing great! it's definitely a mind over matter thing. the pain meds help but aren't a cure all; you're gonna feel some nasty pain days 4-10. I've only been med and pain free for a few days now. if you can't tolerate the pain meds after the first few days (nausea), liquid Tylenol has been a lifesaver. sleep, hydrate and keep stress to a minimum. have a humidifier to combat dry air+ dry mouth. they say 2 weeks youre healed but that's b.s. lol definitely gonna need at least another week feel more normal and a full month to be fully healed. this was my first surgery ever and it's been 'fun' but I'm ready to get back to normal now. 😅 🙃 staying put is the hardest part because restlessness was at an all time high for me but you gotta stick it out to give your body time to recoup. I'd be glad to answer any specific questions 😄

Anyone considering the syrgery GET IT . Even though the pain is horrible, in the long run it is so beneficial anad everyone has a different experience. I am on my 9th day and the pain varries day by day. What helped me a lot is eating cold foods like ice pops or ice cream, plenty of water and taking my meds as prescribed and don't be afraid to ask your surgeon questions if you are alarmed by something. I got depressed here and there cause I just miss eating normal food and some people have pointed out that I lost a bit of weight😭😭But best advice is to take PLENTY of sleep and rest, do not strain your voice, drink water and don't rush to get better cause eventually you will get back to normal❤All the best regovery to everyone having the surgery.

[@everykindnessandblessinghq]

I completely agree! I had my tonsils out at 15 years old and the older you get, the more difficult and painful it is! I almost died having my tonsils out, because of the bleeding. The doctor couldn't stop the bleeding and they said I lost way more blood than the average person, to the point I had to have testing done after the surgery. They needed to find out if I had a blood clotting disease/diagnosis. Later, I found out that my uncle had actually passed away years ago from being a hemophiliac. He had a nose bleed and bled to death. This was back in the 60s I believe, but still a scary thing to find out! Recovery, for me, was HORRIBLE!!! Still 30 years later, I can still remember that pain like it was yesterday! Years later, my son needed his tonsils out, at five years old, and he was up running around within a few days and didn't seem to be in hardly any pain. Of course, I was completely grateful, but it definitely shows how much more difficult this surgery is as you get older! I hope you healed fine and are feeling much better! God bless and love & light always! 🙏❤️👼🩷😇💖🪽💗💫💝🌟💞🫶💕♊🥰✨💘🧿

[@Libbydapony]

Here to share my whole experience as a teenager getting a tonsillectomy. I definitely got the better end of things, with not awful pain really ever. Day 1 (day of surgery): I honestly don’t remember much from this day, except that I was just exhausted the whole day after surgery. I don’t remember my pain being to terrible. Days 2-5: These were really only the rough days of recovery, and it wasn’t even really because of the pain. I just felt quite sick these couple days, I had a fever, and I just felt pretty bad because I had barely eaten anything. Although my pain was not awful and very manageable, it did still hurt to swallow quite a bit. Although, I did eat a burger patty on day 4 and a peice of pizza on day 5. Days 6-7: The worst days for pain, but this is when I finally started feeling much better. These days were when the pain medication started wearing off faster, so there was a longer time where it was more painful. This was expected though, because these were the days the scabs were coming off. Which I could actually feel, and every once in a while, it would be a really sharp pain in my throat for a couple seconds. I just took a drink of water and it immediately went away. Days 8-13: I pretty much woke up on day 8 and felt basically normal. My throat was still sore, but I stopped taking medicines around the clock and just took ibouprofen on the morning which helped for the whole day. From then on my pain just started getting less and less each day and I was pretty much able to eat any food starting day 8. It general, the pain was not as bad as I expected, the worst parts for me was the feeling sick the first few days and the only being able to eat soft foods for a little while. (I surprisingly got sick of ice cream) TIPS: -stay 👏 on 👏 top 👏 of 👏 your 👏 medicine!!!! It literally worked miracles for me, and almost instantly. Take the medicine as prescribed by the doctor around the clock, including at night, because as soon as you fall behind it is very hard to get back on top of the pain. -drink water. Water is important to heal the wounds by keeping them moist, so even if it hurts it’s important to get liquids. -ice packs! An ice pack on my throat helped a lot, especially right before you eat because it will make it sort of numb -eat real food as soon as possible. Even if it takes four hours. Cut the food into tiny little bites and chew really well, then swallow with water. As soon as you can eat real food, you will feel much better! -other things that helped was a humidifier for night time, and sleeping!! In general, it was not the most horrible experience as long as you do the right things to take care of yourself. The time actually went by super fast for me, and it was definitely worth it because I already am noticing improvement! You got this guys stay strong you will get through it!!

How much are the nurses? Does your insurance pay for that? They didn't offer that when I had mine out.

[@Devi_JK_11]

Your moms so cool and chill.

Yesss hot stuff felt wayyy better when I got mine removed girlll we went through the sameee thingggs

[@ellastarr777]

I get my tonsils out soon and I've been told by my doctors that mine are giant so I've been nervous, I also got a breast reduction so I've been wondering how similar the recoveries would be. But thank you for being so real about it because now I'll try to prepare more for the pain

Hi Shorty, got me laughing dying😂

[@SydneyElise09]

I got my tonsils and adenoids out and got a septoplasty all at the same time 3 days before Christmas last year. There came a point that I didn’t talk for what felt like a whole week. What no one prepared me for was that my nose was so swollen it caused pressure that made my ears hurt horribly at night when I tried to sleep. That was probably the worst pain of all of it and I didn’t even have ear surgery! Go figure 🤦🏼‍♀️

I was so happy to get my tonsils out never being excited for this again😔 it takes 2 weeks and rn it’s only the first week it hurts so bad u can barely eat stuff bro😔 same here when ppl looked at my tonsils they were like:0 my family is making fun of my voice bc it sounds weird when I speak lol 1 more week to go

[@cynthiaadamson7470]

Good luck, I've had my tonsils out and it hurts as breaking c*** and if you see my picture like on my profile picture. I literally just can't return to that like me like a week ago and I'm still over covering coverage. Yeah, and it's really art and I was stupid super super super super super swollen.

[@LittoDizzzy]

On my third day of recovery. My tonsils were also huge asfk. 😭 my uvula is hella swollen rn it makes me gag. I can barely drink water without spitting.. The popsicles do help. Warm things are also helpful. They prescribed me Tylenol with codeine but I only have one more tablet left .. I knew this shit was gonna hurt. I just want it to be over

[@lisastern7331]

Oh my goood I had mine removed 8 days ago and I also SEVERELY underestimated how painful it was gonna be 😭 I was literally given fentanyl after I woke up.. mine were huge as well and I had chronic tonsillitis but everyone told me it wasn’t gonna be bad at all but they all had theirs removed as kids when the tonsils were small and they barely remember it so ofc it wasn’t as painful as my experience 🥲 I am only now starting to talk lol, I’m glad I’m not alone in this pain 😭

[@hannahglickman]

Stop I have to get mine out and they are huge as well I'm seriously so scared

[@RYMAN1321]

I didn’t think they’d give fentanyl for a routine procedure like this

[@lisastern7331]

@@RYMAN1321 i’m allergic to morphine :)

[@coolpumpkins453]

you cant talk for how long after this? was the pain comparable to tonsillitis/scarlet fever? im just trying to understand how bad the pain will be. ive had really bad scarlet fever like the kind where you can barely eat/swallow but worried this will be worse. idk if i need the surgery, but ever since i "recovered" from scarlet fever it came back, ive had to eat tons of pills but it never really went away, my tonsils have always been bad but they dont seem to be going down this time, they are enlarged and its been like 3 months since i "recovered"

[@lisastern7331]

@@coolpumpkins453 i can only speak for myself but i had chronic tonsillitis before i had the surgery.. in 2021 i had tonsillitis for a month and i never really recovered from that which was why i decided to remove mine. i don’t know if i’ve ever had scarlet fever so i can’t speak on it but the pain is kind of like tonsillitis but bc mine were so big, the pain wasn’t just in my throat but along my jaw, mouth, my entire neck and head. i’ve had endometriosis surgery and cross linking surgery on both eyes, both considered painful surgeries, but to me this one was the worst pain wise. but im allergic to morphine so i wasn’t fully relieved of the pain. i couldn’t speak properly for about two weeks and could only eat ice cream and cold soup.. it’s COMPLETELY worth it to me though, even if the surgery and recovery sucked so bad

[@nathaliefuentes8657]

I had a very similar experience but I would choke on my own saliva and water for the first 4 days. It would go up my nose. I didn’t eat anything for those 4 days and ended up in the ER on the fifth needing IV fluid. Currently on day 13 and still can’t eat without shedding a tear. Please tell me it gets better bc I’m over it 🥴

[@Heckye4h]

Did it get better?
