Day 6 tonsillectomy recovery
I’ve been in a lot of pain I think day 2-4 was the worst because my jaw would shiver/shake and ear pain got worse and it still hurt to swallow and was drooling like crazy it just felt like absolute hell
I don’t feel like it’s too hard to swallow anymore but things that weren’t hurting before are starting to burn really bad like popsicles, I’d rather eat more solid food because it hurts less for some reason. I can’t get a good look at my left tonsil because my tongue can’t relax enough and it’s a sharp pain when I try to compress it to look but the left side is less swollen than before and the edges around where the white stuff is is really red not bloody but irritated looking and it looks like there may be food stuck or maybe it’s scabs or both
Basically drinking is burning but the swallowing pain is a lot less
I also noticed my liquid meds burned more
Is there anything I can do for this should I stop drinking that stuff? Idk I haven’t had any complications yet and really don’t want any because I also developed a uti and had to go back on antibiotics again
