Tonsil surgery is usually most painful up to 24 hours after surgery.
Tonsils are the body’s immune organs, especially in childhood, and play a role in the soundness of the body’s immune system. There are strict clinical indications for tonsillectomy. Common indications for surgery include repeated inflammation of the tonsils, formation of tonsil abscesses, triggering of immune system disorders, over-enlargement of the tonsils, benign or malignant tumors of the tonsils, etc. The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia.
General anesthesia is usually adopted for the surgery, and the wound is exposed in the pharyngeal cavity within 24 hours after the surgery, which is the most painful time. 24 hours later, the wound surface of tonsil fossa can gradually grow white pseudomembrane, which has a certain protective effect on the wound surface, and at the same time, under the cooperation of medication, with the recovery of the wound surface, the pain of the wound symptom can be gradually relieved.
After the surgery, you need to rinse your mouth diligently, keep your mouth clean, and avoid strenuous exercise to prevent wound infection and bleeding.
