What will doctor do if aft tonsilectomny, patient vomited & have sore throat?won't it make e wound worsen?how to swallow painkiller after tonsilectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No harm to healing: Vomiting after tonsillectomy is not uncommon and will not affect the wound or really worsen the pain. That said, we try to prevent post operative vomiting by using medications to reduce pain, swelling and affect the 'vomit' center of the brain.
