A member asked:
I know about foods, exercise and travel, but how soon after tonsil removal surgery is it safe to drink alcohol? and also to be kissing/intimate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsil: Usually three weeks or so when the tonsils have healed and the alcohol won't burn. About the same time for intimacy. Suggest though that you ask your surgeon.
