Thank you! Glad I came across this on Pinterest! I like knowing what to expect. My youngest just had it done this past Friday and Did she ever complain of tongue pain? He keeps complaining of tongue and throat pain. I’m gonna call the ENT’s office tomorrow but I’m just curious.

Thank you so much for your post about tonsils! My daughter’s name is also Gwen, she’s having her tonsils/adenoids out tomorrow morning, and you gave so many good ideas! You even got the same kind of jello and fruit bars I wanted. WOW. You did a great job explaining exactly what i had (tons of) questions about. Thank you so much! Pray for my Gwen!

Thank you so much for this!!! I was debating on pushing my sons surgery back because I will only be home from the date of surgery to day 6 then I travel for work that I can’t get out of… this made me realize I should push it back so I can be home the full recovery time. I really appreciate the time you took for this post!!!

My daughter is 6 and is having her tonsils removed tomorrow . I am a nervous reck . I have had mine removed when I was 15 & I can remember the pain and eating nuggets and having the worst pain ever . But , I was told children heal faster but my princess doesn’t do well with pain. (She’s my drama queen). but this article really put me at ease ! Thank you for sharing !

Aww, that’s rough for a little kid to go through–although from what I’ve heard, the recovery is easier on kids than it is on adults who have to get their tonsils out. My uncle had such a bad recovery and couldn’t really eat for so long he lost a lot of weight during the healing process. Glad she’s feeling back to her normal self!

Jillian had hers out last summer- same thing. Day 10- game changer. Woke up and did a cartwheel, we were like- she’s back!! She had the “ear pain” as well. Glad you got it done! Knock on wood- she’s been healthy ever since!
