A member asked:
How soon after a tonsillectomy can you fly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
10 days.: Some people feel that flying may increase the risk of a post-tonsillectomy bleed. I think the resitriction has more to do with the fact that you would rather be local to your surgeon if anything were to happen (bleeding) in the post-op period.
