Specializes in Pediatrics

TONSILLECTOMY:: If this is already 2 months, you need to see your ENT surgeon to have a detail exam, find out cause and get treatment as needed. Don't wait.

Unusual: Pain after tonsillectomy usually resolves after 4 weeks. You should see your ENT doctor about this. Maybe there is another problem.
