A member asked:
My son had a tonsillectomy 4 days ago he says it feels like there's something stuck in his throat and i've noticed tonight that he is drooling asleep?

Call the surgeon: if he does not typically drool in his sleep and now he is, that could be a sign of obstruction, so call the surgeon and get the child assessed
