You can talk after tonsillectomy surgery, and the exact time of talking varies according to the recovery after surgery.
Within 24 hours after tonsillectomy, the body is generally weak, the surgical wound hemostasis is lax, excessive talking should not be done, and unnecessary mechanical stimulation and pulling on the surgical area should be reduced. Twenty-four hours after surgery, the growth of the pseudomembrane in the surgical area can be observed, and appropriate speech should be encouraged from this point onwards. This is conducive to exhausting the dirty air in the mouth and promoting blood circulation and tissue metabolism in the operative area.
The frequency and total amount of postoperative speech can be chosen according to the degree of postoperative discomfort response. Under the premise of not causing postoperative bleeding, in principle, a moderate increase in the intensity of speech can have a reduced risk of postoperative pharyngeal adhesion and scar narrowing. If the pain is severe, the duration of talking can be reduced appropriately.
Whether you can talk after tonsillectomy and related precautions should be under the guidance of medical professionals.
