ASK YOUR SURGEON: After a tonsillectomy, or any surgery, there is concern about bleeding. Over the counter anti-inflammatory pain medicines like advil, motrin, aleve, ibuprofen, Naproxen can increase your bleeding risk by making your blood a little less sticky. Tylenol (acetaminophen) won't affect your bleeding this way. You should really discuss your pain with your surgeon. Everybody has a different pain tolerance.

OTC: The answer is none- you just had a procedure your surgeon will instruct you on what you can take whether otc or prescription.
