  • most tonsillectomies don't use "wire loops" (tonsil snares) anymore, unless the doc's old school. electrocautery (ESU) is the way to go--minimal bleeding, no suturing required, and fast.

    also, most excised tonsils don't get to go home with the patient--they go to the lab. :)

  • If you got yours out you should eat 5 Ice-Creams per 2-5 Days because this is lowing the hurting.

  • @NotpoC i hurt from the moment i woke up and then for the next month! i was only 4 or 5 at the time, it was the worst pain i ever in my life experienced. not only did my throat hurt, but my ears did to.

  • @NotpoC No ice cream, just sherbert and Popsicles. Ice cream produces phlegm and, when you get your tonsils out, you don't want to be coughing up anything.

  • I just got mine out last oct 27 2010 and I'm still suffering from throat pain and can't open my mouth wide.

  • I got mine out on July 22 2010 I am 10 years old on my sisters account! They used a laser instead of the clamp thing! :p

  • I swear I just saw a video where a child no older than 7, had his tonsils removed while awake with no anesthetic. They tied him to a chair covered his eyes and removed the tonsils. It looked incredibly painful and I felt sorry for the kid.

  • i think you have tonsils for a reason if they are inflamed they are working hard at their job.

    would you take off your bullet proof vest in a gunbattle. Then why cut out your tonsils when your body is under attack from disease.

    Ars#$%^& doctors will take your money and dump you on the pavement out the front of the hospital!!!!
