A member asked:
What is the recovery time after getting tonsils and adenoids taken out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1-2 weeks: Typically it takes 1-2 weeks to recover. The exact time depends mainly on the patient and partly on the method of tonsil removal. Think of your worst sore throat -- that is where you start at right after the tonsils are removed.
