What’s Causing Headaches After Tonsillectomy?

A child underwent tonsillectomy on the 20th of this month, aged 4 years and 11 months. Starting on the 25th, the child began to experience mucosal shedding, complaining of a sore throat and a slight headache. Later, after consulting a doctor, it was suggested that it might be due to a cold. What should be done? If it’s a cold, symptoms like headaches, fever, sneezing, and runny nose can occur. However, colds may also have symptoms of nasal mucosal congestion. A blood test will be conducted, and blood cells may change. In this case, a blood test should be performed. If there are lymphocytes or white blood cells, oral antiviral medication or anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken along with drinking plain water. However, if the medication is ineffective and the headache persists, a brain CT or MRI should be conducted to rule out the possibility of intracranial diseases.
