A member asked:

I'll have to have my tonsils removed--what am i looking at for recovery time? what post surgery treatment should i apply? needing some reassurance. :(

Ask your doctor: These are typically done as an outpatient, but techniques and individual medical problems all play a role in recovery times. Call your surgeon to find out about your case. Hope this helps!
