Question
Hi, I’ve had my tonsils removed, but I keep feeling feverish, coughing, and my throat hurts. What should I be aware of in my daily life? Thanks.
Answer
Hi, it’s common to experience symptoms like fever, coughing, and a sore throat after a tonsillectomy. Here are a few points to keep in mind during your daily routine:
- Consume liquid foods for the first two days after surgery, semi-liquid foods for the next seven days, and avoid strenuous physical activities or forceful breath-holding for two weeks to prevent vessel rupture and bleeding.
- If you develop a fever or other symptoms, it’s advisable to seek a check-up from your attending physician to prevent infection risks.
- To boost your immunity, consider enhancing your body’s resistance through balanced diet, moderate exercise, and sufficient sleep.
