A member asked:
I had a tonsillectomy and adnoidectomy it's been about 5 days since the surgery and the bottom of my tongue is very painful, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As long as you are not bleeding the pain is expected. Continue with your pain medication. I would assume that you have a recheck with your surgeon.
