Emma’s Tonsillectomy Recovery- Not so bad
I’m 19 years old and day 7 post op. I think I have had a pretty breezy recovery- nothing unbearable. I’ve found drinking heaps of water, slowly eating normal foods again have been the best. I’ve also been taking a bath every night with a muscle soak bubble bath- recommend as it relaxes your whole body. Vicks has been my saviour!! Apply it to my neck for my throat pains, ears for my earache and temples for headaches. Ice packs bandaged to jaw line are really good too for 20 minute stints. Still have a sore jaw and unable to open my mouth wide enough to check out my new mouth, but I’ll have that ability soon I hope 🙂
