After tonsillectomy surgery, the patient can be discharged from the hospital in about 7 days, depending on the patient’s recovery status.
Tonsillectomy is the clinical term for tonsillectomy surgery, and usually requires hospitalization 2 days before surgery to improve preoperative tests, including routine blood work, blood biochemistry, coagulation function, electrocardiogram and chest DR examination. The surgery can be started on the 3rd day of admission, and the patient’s vital signs need to be closely monitored for 24 hours after surgery, because complications such as respiratory and cardiac arrest and anesthesia accidents are likely to occur during this period. Postoperative antibiotics should also be routinely applied to prevent infection. If patients have no special complications, they can be discharged 3-4 days after surgery, so overall, tonsil surgery can generally be discharged in about 7 days, and if abnormalities or complications occur in the operating area, the hospital stay will need to be extended appropriately.
Patients are advised to actively cooperate with professional doctors, eat cold liquid food in the early postoperative period, and avoid spicy and hard foods during the recovery period.
