A member asked:
Is it safe to gargle with viscous lidocaine 2% (10ml gargle) 5 days post-op after tonsillectomy? ent did not prescribe..urgent care clinic did.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably safe, but: I would follow up with your ENT so soon after having a procedure done if you are having problems. They should really be the ones to manage this.
