Day 9 post tonsillectomy. experiencing bubbly foamy ? salivating. its keeping me awake. suggestions to help sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Salt &water gargle: After tonsilectomy you may experience normal healing which may include some bad breath and saliva may have diffrent texture. Saliva is anti - bacterial substance and so it is fighting normal bacteria in oral cavity . In general as if sore throat - saline rinses and gargels may aliviate some of the discomfort and gently rinse mouth . Other mouthwashes may be too harsh.
