Tonsillectomy is a common surgery in otolaryngology. The healing process after surgery usually takes about 2 weeks and requires a liquid diet for 2 weeks after surgery. The first bleeding-prone period is within 48 hours after surgery, mostly caused by heavy damage during surgery when the tonsils are too heavily adhered to the surrounding area and separated, or by the patient eating hard food, coughing too hard or moving too vigorously after surgery. The second easy bleeding period is 7-14 days after surgery, also known as the decortication period, during which the white membrane of the trauma surface falls off and the trauma surface gradually heals, if the decortication is not careful about life, it is easy to cause bleeding during the decortication period.
