A member asked:
Tonsillectomy 10 days ago + a bleed that required surgery later that night. no blood since then. very worried i will bleed again. wondering if there's a known % of people that begin bleeding after day 10? do bleeds after day10 tend to be less severe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do not worry: Risk of bleeding 10 days after surgery is remote. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
