2 year old toddler had tonsils and adnoids out 2days ago. she makes a gulping noise when swallowing. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably but...: If the child otherwise looks fine (i.e. No fever, complaint of significant pain, and can tolerate eating/drinking) then this is likely ok. However, i would certainly mention this to the ent. And please seek medical attention promptly if there are any other problems (like the ones listed above, fever, etc).
