Thank you I too am now on day 4 post surgery. I can honestly say it was THAT bad! 😅🤣 I was so unprepared for how much pain I've been in. Pain meds and ice packs all the way! Just sleep through the first 5 days to not have to endure the unbelievable pain! It's so much worse than I expected. BUT! I know the experience is different for everyone!
Just had my tonsils removed. It's day 3 and the pain is just awful!!!! But I'm glad I got rid of them because they were causing me infections every month
I've had an ENT and a doctor I just went to for Sleep Apnea tell me I have very large tonsils. Also, for the past 5 or so years, I have had a gagging cough that seems triggered by change in air temperature, smell, or physical exertion. I also have had halitosis that leaves a strong sulphuric smell whenever I have a sneezing fit. I also have a terrible snoring issue, hence the sleep study. All three have had an effect on my marriage. I often have to sleep downstairs becaus of the snoring. My wife can't help but wince when I go to kiss her. She will sometimes ask if I had farted, when I have not... sometimes I just say yes, because that is less embarrassing. She also always comments on how unhealthy my cough sounds. I am about to find out the results of my sleep study on Friday. Tonsillectomy was brought up, but later finding out that I may kill three HUGE, awful, life burdening birds with one stone has me elated! I have always been on the urge of breakdown having those things always on the back of my mind, especially the halitosis -as I cannot depend on kisses to make me feel better anymore. Attempting to do so just often makes me feel worse, and no matter how many times I saw the dentist and brushed, it felt hopeless. 2020 has been a rough year, but if I can be rid of these burdens, it just might be the best year of my life!
Hey Rick I hope your surgery went well and you are getting all the kisses in the world. I hope your confidence has been restored ND life is better. God bless
I Am Day 4 of my Surgery. The pain is crucial. Prepare your self. You won’t be able to eat your ears will hurt also. Like Nike Once said. “Just Do It” Prayers 🙏🏻 Sent To Everyone Going Thru This. 😊
@@elperrocovero Get it done if many bouts of TRUE strep throat or actual obstacle when breathing. Tonsil stones can be dealt with. This pain is something else. And yea, can't eat for like 2 days and pain even with cold stuff.
I’m getting my tonsils out next week, because I’ve been getting horrible tonsil stones for nearly two years now. I’m excited to have the procedure, because it means I don’t have to deal with the tonsil stones anymore, but this is the first surgery I’ve ever had, and I am TERRIFIED! Also, I’m really not looking forward to the recovery.
Omg I had my done last week because of tonsil stones I’m so mad. It’s weird that the pain gets worse as the days go by. I have lost 10 pounds, still can’t speak and choke at night and wake up in pain. Only good thing I’m on my 5th day and I have not had any vomiting or bleeding but I developed thrush which was never mentioned to me as a side effect. Good luck .
sha tay I didn’t know thrush was a possibility!? That’s scary! I’m actually slightly excited about the weight loss part. If I lose 10 pounds, I’ll be half way to my goal 😂😂 I hope you have a speedy recovery, though! I’m definitely VERY nervous.
Bethany Wilson how are you feeling? I’m on The 24th day which is much better than that first 2 1/2 weeks which was hell. I can talk now. I still have off and on rawness on the roof of my mouth, dry mouth and I sleep with humidifier. I have very little ear pain. I am not 100%but I’m getting there. You will feel much better once the scabs come off it was like magic.
sha tay I’m feeling much better as well!! I’m on day 15, and I’m almost back to normal. I can almost eat anything, as long as I take small bites and chew really well. I’m glad I’m not the only one that was having issues with chocking at night. I was choking 5-6 times a night, and it would really freak me out! Plus, the drool situation was ridiculous!!! I’m so glad you’re feeling better, and I hope the procedure was worth it for your future health!
I had red throat and tonsil stones all the time for years. I also had sore throat, or rather my tonsils were sore every two days, not to mention recurring trachea infections. Now I'm recovering from the surgery and I hope that it'll all be better.
Had my tonsils out at age 60. They were huge and was getting tonsillitis up to 5 times per year. After surgery, the pain was terrible and I drank slurpees for 5 days. However it was the best thing I ever did. Strep throat free!
Day 7 post op. The pain is definitely hell but you have to play minds games to help yourself push through. Stay on top of you pain meds and antibiotics to help you heal
I’ve had Strep 61 times in the past 5 years! Now I’m being sent to an ear nose and throat specialist next week because I had strep in September October December and also February! It sucks so bad just happy I might be at a solution!
Thank you for this video. My 6-year-old son is having his tonsils and adenoids removed next week because his ENT recommended it after his dentist referred him for severe grinding of his teeth. He has sleep apnea, teeth grinding, snores, and bedwetting (he sleeps so hard that he wets himself and still doesn't wake up). He even sleeps through loud storms. I have struggled with whether or not this was the right decision since it is surgery on my child. You really helped educate me and ease my nervousness about my child's upcoming procedure. I appreciate your videos. It looks like I am making the best decision for my son. Thanks again.
Hie even, my son is due in 12 days. How was it for your son, post op? The pain and any side effects. Did the bedwetting stop and how was his breathing and sleep after the surgery
Thank you for making this video! You make me feel comfortable and your knowledge had been very helpful!!! I had my tonsils taken out 1 day ago. The pain is real but I’m hoping that it’s worth it. I can already breathe so much better and all the swelling hasn’t gone down all the way yet.
@@ShamanNoodles Awww don't be scared you'll be just fine sweetheart just relax you'll be ok! I felt the same way before my surgery and I'll be 30 years old in 3 weeks so I know exactly how you feel! My recovery was great better than I expected the pain was very severe expecially days 4-9 then I had pain in both my ears which didn't go away till day 10 but it gets better! I was prescribed liquid oxycodone and was told to take tylenol and ibuprofen over the counter since you can't swallow pills after the surgery In order for me to take tylenol or ibuprofen I would smash it on the table with a hammer until it turns into powder then I put it inside some applesauce and it was easy to swallow the pills that way. I took tylenol and ibuprofen every 3 hours which I was told my surgeon and I just alternated the tyIenol and ibuprofen for example I took tylenol and then 3 hours later I took ibuprofen and I took the oxycodone every 6 hours which was AMAZING for the pain! The oxycodone was great for pain expecially when it gets severe! Ask for liquid oxycodone not pills! Once you take the pain medication the pain goes away completely you just feel the pressure when you swallow but that's it! I took oxycodone for 10 days, after 10 days the pain started to go down little by little so I started taking tylenol and ibuprofen only after day 10 I didn't need the oxycodone anymore and the ear pain went away. I had my surgery on June 12th and by June 26th the pain was completely gone! So basically I felt better 15 days after the surgery and I have a very low tolerance to pain I struggled with huge tonsils my entire life so I have no regrets I'm happy I got them out. Buy ice packs at least 8 of them that's what helped me with the pain as well I am actually going to post a video of my tonsillectomy recovery experience and what I ate and drank and things I used that helped during my recovery the video should be posted on my youtube Channel this Saturday or Sunday so be sure to check it out! You'll be just fine they will put you to sleep and your surgery will be quick before you know it the surgery will be over it's a very simple procedure once you get home keep up with your pain meds make sure you eat and drink lots of water and you'll feel better in no time you'll be just fine ❤
Very informative thank you so much for sharing. My 4 years old has tonsillectomy surgery in 2 days. She has sleep apnea and its very difficult for her.. I'm really nervous especially at this time with the pandemic going to do her surgery, but your video calmed me down that I'm making the right decision..
My tonsils ate not enlarged as shown in the images but they are irritated and red. They have been this easy for months now. About one to two years ago I would get strep throat several times a year as well as constant sinus infections. One big change I've noticed is that when I talk for too long or sing a song(literally just one), i feel am uncomfortable pressure as if I had been crying.
If you is interested in cures for tonsil stones the best info that ive ever had was by using the Simons Stone Stopper (i found it on google) without a doubt the most incredible remedy that I have ever followed.
I'm currently having this right now. And school just started and bc of the masks I'm having trouble breathing and it's making me get headaches for lack of oxygen. Currently I'm at home, I just told my parents on what I was feeling and so far we're just speculating that it could be a beginning stage of tonsillitis bc of the swollen ness of the tonsils. We just have to go to the doctor to confirm and talk about what to do to cure it.
I'm having the procedure on Thursday. I had Tonsilitis 4 times in 1 month & 5 times in 2 months. Too much time off work, too many antibiotics and too much stressing about my health.
Would a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy be beneficial to a child with constantly enlarged tonsils and adenoids but very rare episodes of throat pain? Also, if both are removed, isn’t that a large chunk of lymphatic protection gone? Any tips for maintaining good health post removal please?
@@TheRealBleach 1st day ok 2nd day tired and uncomfortable today my 3rd day not too much pain just uncomfortable still drowsy got rid of pain medication yesterday It's gonna be worth it though and thank u for asking bleach
Vanessa Cazares Damn you are lucky, from what I heard from others, they experience over salivation and bleeding. Hopefully I will be as lucky as you when I get mine removed.
Why do we have tonsils in the first place, if they cause so many problems? And what was humans' relationship with tonsils a few centuries ago? Was it also a big or even bigger problem even then? And if not, why is it such a big problem in modernity? Could it be the way our diet has evolved over the years? Apologies for all the questions. I'm just really interested in the topic.
I was on my 4th antibiotics in a row and still has a problem, they just didn't work. I have to say stop and have my tonsils removed. This was obviously good example of antibiotics resistance, super exhausting.... I'm on day 10 and since yesterday without any painkillers, feeling quite good already. Don't hesitate or worry, if I have to, I would have tonsilektomy again, so it wasn't really bad.
I have Severe sleep apnea and my tinsels are 3+ and 4+. My ent is looking at removing mine in the next few month. He is wanting to do a soft pallet surgery.
I have a surgery but not tonsils tho I'm really scared to get my surgery because of the corono virus people don't be afraid to get any kind of surgery because God is always with you
Hello doctor, I have frequent tonsil stones, about one or two every week, it’s been going on for years, and my ears usually feel stuffed too. As a singer it’s pretty annoying; should I seek a ent to remove them?
Will I see any difference in my breadth. Coz I m also suffering from bad breadth and a lot of people tell that getting your tonsils out might solve the problem.
Questions are; What guidelines do ENT use for paediatric surgeries ??? I’ve not located one that is public or available through the intranet (works medical access bases). 2) Tonsillectomy. Why would “tonsils” be coughed up entirely (burned off with diathermy in OT left inside grade 2-3 in babies). Instead of removed “diathermy” used in what seems like deep burning of the tissues. (It’s definitely not tonsil slough/ scabs or stones). I thought it was tonsil scabs LARGE ones with the professor in ENT verbalising no they are “tonsils”. Day 4 post op that case was & 13 months old. That case had the errored “supraglottoplasty” in that T’s & A’s surgery aswell. Yet OT report stated much different to what transpired. The tonsils were said to be removed. Diathermy was said to be used for bleeding control instead of stitches. The professor again told me off records “they are tonsils”. Everything I thought was off on that kid was right he wanted me to know. However didn’t go into why you’d have tonsils still in & cough them up? 3) why did they use diathermy? Is this something all ENT use in babies under 2/3 years ie
I am so scared to have tonsillectomy, get stinky tonsil stone all the time and I am tired of gagging every morning. Bad breath is also possible. May God be with me🙏🏽💕
I think I have strep or tonsillitis. I’m 23 and have been having tonsil stone form for years. I’m gonna go to the doctor in a few hours and talk with him about it.
I just had my tonsillectomy done 6 days ago and it is hell!! Pain beyond pain! But, my ENT told me that adults generally do not have adenoids and they’re primarily in children.
An Obstruction can not only lead to OSA, but also to Upper-airway-resistance-syndrome (UARS), where you don't stop breathing, but still struggle to get a sufficient airflow while sleeping. The symptoms of UARS are pretty bad too, Exhaustion, constant headaches etc.. I will hopefully get my Tonsils out soon, while i am not officialy diagnosed with specifically UARS i have a Diagnosis of Tonsilhyperplasia and Insomnia. My home sleep study did not measure any breathing apneas. I have videos of me sleeping, where you can hear something, most likely in my throat, thuding against something, while i breathe out (Maybe my Tonsils?!?). In one video you can also see that i hardly get enough air in. Thats why i think i have probably UARS. Also UARS is widely underdiagnosed, because its not as easy to measure as OSA. Still the symptoms the patient feels are just as bad. Please be aware that this is also a possibility, so someone like me knows quicker what the source of their suffering may be.
Pain relief post Tonsillectomy in kids; what do you recommend? Some only panadol & ibuprofen Others (babies even) get charted regular automatic endone 4 hourly or others PRN. Then other kids your near fighting for anything more then Panadol in kids that developed pain / unable to swallow etc. Ibuprofen never was given yet now depending on the ENT its charted for babies/ kids. What’s your standard on this?
So who’s the best doctor to visit about tonsils and sleep? Eyes ears and throat? And sleep doctor? I have really bad LOUD snoring and the back of my tonsils look Swollen

I grind my teeth and have trouble breathing. Just found out I have tonsil stones. Can I get my tonsils removed? My throat is really bumpy too :( the main issue isn’t even that I can’t breath it’s the distress. I have OCD and the stones bother me enough that I spend hours a day tearing my throat apart and not eating for days to avoid getting food in the crypts
I started having tonsil stones a few years ago and the holes keep getting bigger. I'm supposed to get them removed on April 5 but I'm freaking out because I have a baby and a year old so the staying still is going to be hard.
Wondering how this went for u and how old u r? Heard it hurts more the older u r but I feel like it’s the person, I’ve only ever had 2-3 stones since I was 19 (I’m turning 25 in September) and I’m only on my mom’s insurance until I’m 26 but I too have terrible ocd about my mouth and I had all four of my wisdoms pulled at the same time 2 infected and I didn’t feel any pain what so ever after that never even knew I got them out and I’m just so terrified of getting them out because like u, I’m on day 3 of barely eating anything cause I’m too scared🥺😭anytime I feel even a little piece back there I freak out then when I’m done eating a check and nothing seems to be wrong but I still freak out and have to brush and mouthwash after, I also have crippling health anxiety and I don’t want this to worsen later on in life and be even older getting this done! Not to mention probably having no insurance at that time too cause no where offers good coverage now a days 😭😭seriously wishing I would’ve just had this done when I was a kid🥺I feel your pain but I’m interested to know if u were able to get them out? I don’t have trouble breathing and the stones always just on one tonsil and every couple months or even years but the ocd in me prevents me from eating for a week or two regularly at least until I just forget about it eventually and just start getting back to eating. I’m sorry u gotta go through that but let me know how you’re doin now and any advice u may have! I’m going in for a dental cleaning jar I’m gonna ask my dentist to look at them to see what her opinion is and if it’s just the one w the crypts or both! I wish u luck and wish me luck! We’ll get through this! Anxiety and ocd r a motherrrr
Thankfully my tonsils were removed when I was 5 years old I remember vividly mid surgery and the recovery process. I also remember Many bad memories of all the infections I had before my doctor removed them. The fever hallucinations i would get I can only describe as acid trips.
Dear Doctor. I was a singer. When i was 34 I had a tonsillectomy. After that my falsetto or head voice range decreased of almost one octave. Half range. Never came back. What could go wrong? I have not Adenoids since when i was a child. Im 47 now. Thank you
I know I’m not the doctor but a lot if not everyone who gets theirs out says it changes your voice cause you have more room back there, if you just know how your new voice sounds I think you can look up some good throat exercises to maybe hit those octaves again!
@@paigeanne1325 thank you for your suggestion. I just made my first 2 laringostrobo visit but the images are little poor. Seems like i have no issues in the borders of my vocal folds and this is strange. I can phonate in almost every kind of position of the laryngs .. up...down...neutral...compressed...decompressed.....relaxed...mix...false chords...inhaled exhaled etc. But nothing the range keeps being the same. Nobody understands what's the problem. I posted 2 videos of the stroboscopy . My feeling is that....could be something so simple to be invisible. It s so frustrating........
@@waxlrose06 ugh I’m so sorry u have to go through that! I still have mine so I can only assume but maybe try a coating technic? Like oil or honey before singing? That might help!
@@paigeanne1325 i tried E-vitamin oil. Ialoclean . Professional and unprofessiomal hydrating products and oils. Vapes. Manipulations of the throat and the neck. One day i also tried a skin hydrating cream of a she friend o mine who uses it for body shower ahahhaha. Nothing. No results. I think the problem is biomechanical connected to the pharynx. Pharynx is underestimated in my opinion for the range problems. There are more than 150 muscles involved in the singing and even just talking phonation. For not talk about nerves n cartilages. Participating all together it all works. U damage even just one and there's no harmony anymore. Just like walling. It s so easy to walk but it involves hundreds of body parts. Even the ears.....
@@waxlrose06 I’m so sorry! 😭 I would just try the low ooohhhhmmmmm exercises to try and see how your new voice works! Hey if anything u just gotta relearn songs that go well w the new voice! Maybe yea and honey to sooth too! Again I’m so sorry that’s happening to u man! If you still got a singing voice then I say work with it and grow to like it!
I have really right throat nasal pain some problems with my eyes and now my chest is really hurting going to an Ohio state ENT and hopefully he gets them out for me and I have really bad headaches I’m 25 do you think this is tonsel related I’ve had to use over the counter nasal spray for about the past 5 years because I’ve always had problems and now it’s not going away no matter what we tried
In general, it is not dangerous. It is always, however, a really tough recovery. Without any details into your general health, it is impossible to answer this question for you. You could, however, ask your primary care doctor about the general risks of surgery and anesthesia.
@Sarah Bjerketvedt hi did your uvula go down or is it still huge? Did you ever get the surgery how did it go? I'm 29 years old and due to get surgery march 23rd and I'm terrified
@Sarah Bjerketvedt Thank you for the advice and yes I'm 29 my surgery is march 23rd so I'm nervous but only because I have a 1 year old daughter but I'm prepared and ready to get it over with I'm happy you have recovered and are doing much better now. 😊
ive had tonsillitis for 8 years im not sure if i should get them out, i only have a couple symptoms but i have a sore throat everyday. what should i do?
Omg i think I need to get mine removed! My tonsils obstruct passage. One more than the other. Should I get them removed? One takes up half of my throat passage.
I had mines removed at 17 and it was the worst! I had lost 8lb at only 100lbs couldn’t talk and missed my last few months of high school. Drinking blended food out of a straw was the hardest even drinking water hurt. My issues lasted for a very long time!
I've been experiencing recurring tonsillitis since I was a child. I'm originally from Jamaica (now in NYC) and tonsillectomies are not very popular. But I'm thinking I should have them extracted. I haven't kept track of how frequent the infections are but they happen quite often. Do I need to be experiencing issues to have a tonsillectomy?
I saw an ENT for 5 mins and he wants to do a tonsillectomy. I have one tonsil that is larger than the other with ear and jaw pain on that side and intermittent swollen lymph nodes. My throat has been inflamed for over 18 months. I'm hesitant to get my tonsils out since they are part of the immune system, but I'm also afraid it may be cancer. Are there any other tests I can do before going straight to the tonsillectomy? The doctor didn't do a scope and a CAT scan revealed nothing.
Blood tests and scans can tell you if something is "bad" when they are abnormal. Blood tests and scans can never guarantee that something is not "bad".
@@julieannbrown7226 I canceled my tonsillectomy bc i found out i am pregnant again. Still have the same issues and am worried, but can't do anything right now anyways! I'm actually thinking some of the throat issues are related to EBV. I know it's not good to put concerns off, but for now, that's where I am. Please share if you end up finding anything out!
@@UMblue83 I got mine done yesterday the surgeon said when they were put beside each other they were similar in size and soft so looks good but still have to be sent off to be tested
I’m 24 and have mild sleep apnea and have had chronic tonsillitis for the last two years. I recently visited a local ENT MD and he almost immediately approved a tonsillectomy in my case. My surgery is scheduled for August 29th. I also have Mitral Valve Prolapse with regurgitation so going under anesthesia worries me. After reading online recently, post-operative bleeds have me pretty freaked out. I requested two weeks off of work for recovery (I work as a manager and auto mechanic) hopefully this is long enough to recover enough to get back to work.
Will it affect my speech when I will undergo surgery? I keep going to my EENT, Karmellosan seems to no longer works. I have had a 3 high fevers for this year (2 of them just this October recently). I am afraid since I have a fever, canker sore, sore throat, whitey tonsils, and swelling lymph nodes on my neck part. It sounds I'm having COVID-19, but I know it is with my tonsil. I have diagnosed before for having Acute Tonsilitis, but the doctor did not advised for any surgery, just Karmellosan. Please do advise, thanks!
Showing this to my dr if he says to me one more time that getting tonsillitis 2-5 times a year for the past 14 years isn’t enough reason to get them removed
Can a tonsil stuff up one side of the nose and/or cause one ear to feel stuffy???? Im in my late 30s, and for the last year and a half my right side has felt stuffy most of the time, and my ear hasnt been able to equalize properly. My right tonsil has also grown and fallen down into my throat, but not blocked it. I feel like when I swallow my right side isnt the same as my left. So far no ENT has figured out the issue.
So, recently I had probably about 2 infections on my tonsils this year which they gave me medication the first time and went away but atm they provided me with medication for my current strept and it suppresses it but as soon as I finish my medication it slowly comes back. Never completely gone. So I’m actually going to see a throat specialist to see what he recommends.
The procedure scares me, but more what does is there recovery. Everyone makes it sound awful and I'm usually unlucky when it comes to falling in the unlikely to happen category. I'm scared in going to bleed out after the surgery. I kind of don't want to do it but I dont want what happened three weeks ago to happen again.
Apm I’m in day 3 of recovery and just want to say that it’s hard but bearable. They gave me medicine to prevent bleeding so that hasn’t been a problem at all! I recommend you to do it!
u wont bleed if u take good care after the operation.. avoid hard/sharp/hot food. And drink lots of cold water throughout the day even small sips at a time coz it hurts as hell just drinking water. Avoid acidic food or drinks too like orange/lemon juice, it hurts. I lost alot of weight during post tonsillectomy like 8-10kg as i was eating very little each day. But after day 15 u can slowly begin to eat more solid food. I'm at day 25 now and i'm back on normal food now. I feel great too
Ive already removed my tonsils, its so hard for first 5 to 8 days, ear hurts, jaws kinda numb and hurts, then the eating orocess so difficult! But its worth it, its okay unless you dont suffer all the symptoms you feel!
I feel like my tonsils aren’t big, but I choke, cough and gag almost every time I eat or drink. I also get tonsil stones all the time. I finally set up an appointment after 4 years of coughing and gagging everyday. And I think the tonsil stones effect dental hygiene even though I brush, floss and use mouthwash. I guess I’ll see what happens 🤔
I am 38 years old my tonsils are super big with some white pose on it. he cause me to have sleep problems I would like to know what can I do it really weigh on me.
My daughter over the last 6 months sounds like she’s talking with a stuffed nose but she doesn’t have a stuffy nose but she has been having issues with swollen glands and those smelly stones she’s only 12 I am very concerned because this has been going on passed several years coming and going. Is this a situation to have this surgery ?? Her glands are almost touching the middle piece of throat. NO SORE THROAT
(For anyone to read) Hi! I just got my tonsils out.. almost 4 days ago, (on my fourth day) And I just hope nothing bad would happen... My mom said on day 7-10 I will bleed because of a scab. And this is my first surgery for my throat, And... I ate chicken on the first day, But I chewed well..... it’s getting a bit hard to breathe, but I hope it’s worth it. And I’m 10 and older, so I might have more pain. And I have to take Advil and Tylenol every THREE HOURS! It’s annoying. But it’d be nice if someone could talk to me by replying, If I get the notification. 😔🤍
*_-Artiiq Gacha-_* hey! im getting my tonsils out next week. is there any foods you would recommend and is it painful after surgery. Im not sure what to expect so if you could tell me abit about the surgery it would be really useful:)
I've never had any issues with my tonsils or throat infections in general, however I had a very random and serious polymicrobial infection with strep group C...I wasn't responding to antibiotics (and allergic to penicillin) after 7 days of not eating and barely drink I went to ER, i had a bilateral peritonsillar abscess (that's when they took the culture) -- the ENT I was sent to told me he needed to do a tonsillectomy, I tried saying no multiple times but was persuaded into the procedure. I am now experiencing paramount of issues, 60 days out. --- my question, why would am ENT be so insistent on the tonsillectomy if there's been no history ? And will I ever feel normal again!? - I have a constant scathing dry feeling, and pain when swallowing, my tongue has lost its flexibility, posterior papillae are swollen, gross metallic taste constantly, can't taste my food accurately, vocal changes and can't sing yet, and the feeling that something is stuck at the back of my throat, constant and worsens at night. I'm so devastated. Any information would be a huge blessing !
Sorry to hear about your struggles. Your situation is certainly rare with bilateral PTA. One episode of severe infection can be enough of an indication for surgery. I can't speculate in your personal circumstance though. Some PTA are managed medically, some with needle aspiration, some with incision and drainage, some with tonsillectomy. Every situation is different. It is also entirely possible that your symptoms are from having had an infection bad enough to require surgery in the first place. There may or may not still be changes/improvement, and I would recommend contacting your surgeon about your ongoing issues. Hope you get better soon.
Or your ENT is a "cut happy" surgeon like I feel mine was. He didn't even ASK if I'd had a history of infections. Was they were a bit larger than normal and das it!
Just a question should I get my tonsills removed if I had 8 tonsilites cases in half a year and because my tonsills are big is it the reason that every time i lay down on my bed or sofa or anywere I cant breath out of my nose ?? Ps. Sorry for bad english and misspelings😅
Hi Doctor new subscriber here, I am having problem with this whitish thing ( cobble stone ) left and right of my throat but can't remove them because there is no hole but for some I can remove them if they form, normally when I'm tired or sick, skin gets like harder if you push using stone remover tool and hard to breath as well, only few air is coming in inside my nose. Had a check up and there was no polyps. What it can be? Do I need tonsillectomy?
I'm 26 and my tonsils get super swollen and bock my airway a lot of the time. I have to take really deep breaths to get sufficient air and get them about 3 times a year and I'm very careful with washing my hands, being clean, and wiping surfaces. Do you guys think removing the Tonsils is worth it? I know the recovery would be painful as hell but I'm tired of airway blockage and needles poking my throat ( not including fevers, etc). I've been having this since i was 12, they advised my mother to remove it but she said no when i was at a young age. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to this message, tell me your experience.
Hi. I'm facing the same issue for last two months. 5 days ago i went to an ENT surgeon for surgery and now I'm feeling a little bit pain. I want to ask one thing that did your breathing difficulty was resolved by tonsillectomy or not?
My name is Zino from Nigeria.My daughter is four and has grade 4 tonsil,she can't sleep or eat,she breath through her mouth. I have been to the doctor but they keep booking appointment for me to see ENT doctor. I don't know how much I can wait to see the doctor and my daughter is restless. It tonsil fatal if not removed on time?
Hi I always have tonsils but when it goes away even if its after three months I still see the holes and when I have the tonsils I feel it's like my neck is swollen
chachee15 yes! I’m 11 and getting mine taken out in 2 to 3 weeks cause I have VERY bad sleep apnea and my sis had it to and it helped straight away so I’m excited to get mine out!
@@crystalobviously1835 recovery sucks. I still think i did the right thing. Im 5'10 280 lbs so if i lost about 50 pounds im sure the apnea would go away. I dont regret doing the surgery. Im breathing better through my nose.
It depends on why they are enlarged. They are part of the immune system, so sometimes treating an underlying issue can help them shrink. Steroids can sometimes shrink them, but usually only temporarily.
I had my tonsils adenoids and base tonsils removed and they fixed my deviated septum and operated on my nasal passages, 2 days ago and I've found that I cant hear properly out of my left ear and cant swallow, so trying to drink water is hard cause it keeps getting stuck and not going down my throat.
I have an autoimmune disorder henoch Schnolein Purpura so when I get sick it's bad. I've only gotten strep once in my life, I'm 21 but I've gotten tonsilitis maybe 2 maybe 3 times in the past two years. But three weeks ago I woke up with a sore throat and within a day my tonsils got super swollen, my lymph nodes, I had abcesses all in my throat i was throwing up blood and my airway was closing so doctors performed an emergency tracheotomy, they told me I almost died. I believe maybe the swelling had to do with my disorder but usually when I get really bad flare ups it's on my legs so I'm not sure. I never had something like that happen to me, in regards to almost dying from something like that especially that fast but they told me if might be a good idea to remove my tonsils. They didn't remove mine all the did was cut them to remove all the pus. I've been looking up as much as I can about a tonsillectomy and I'm going to talk to my doctor's but I'd like to ask if you would think it would be better to do it?
I'm sorry to hear about the dramatic situation. Getting an abscess is not that unusual, but requiring an emergency tracheotomy is almost unheard of for this issue. Taking out the tonsils when they are actively inflamed like that is a terribly difficult and bloody procedure. The standard practice is to typically drain the abscess and clear the infection with a plan to come back at a future (calmer) date to actually take out the tonsils. One episode of abscess does not always mean we take the tonsils out. In your case, they probably recommended it because it was so dramatic and severe. From your description, tonsillectomy is certainly something worth considering.
Gene Liu, MD, MMM once I was researching the surgery, the recovery process does scare me and makes me want to back out but I also don't want what happened to happen again. Thank you very much for responding. I appreciate it so much, and thank you for all the informative videos you have posted on this topic, they're very helpful.
Hi Dr liu, there is a recent study that show that people without tonsils are more prone to upper airway infections. Is tonsillectomy still safe in the long run
The study results show an association, but not causation. Most of us are not remotely surprised that the kids who needed tonsil and/or adenoid surgery are more prone to "respiratory, infectious, and allergic diseases" because the tonsils and adenoids are part of the immune system. These types of issues lead to tonsil and adenoid problems. So whether or not these kids get their tonsils or adenoids out, they are going to be the ones that continue to have more issues than the general population. I personally don't feel that the issues are caused by the surgery, but by the underlying physiology and immune function of the patient. "CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this study of almost 1.2 million children, of whom 17 460 had adenoidectomy, 11 830 tonsillectomy, and 31 377 adenotonsillectomy, surgeries were associated with increased long-term risks of respiratory, infectious, and allergic diseases. Although rigorous controls for confounding were used where such data were available, it is possible these effects could not be fully accounted for. Our results suggest it is important to consider long-term risks when making decisions to perform tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy."
I'm a 45 year old and I had my tonsils removed for osa last year. I've got more flu and cold which I never had before. Could I be one of the rare cases that needed tonsils to quickly fend off infections before it develops into more serious kind of infection.
And that’s why I want my 13 yr old daughter tonsils removed she gets soar throats tonsil stones bad breath since 8 doctors talking about she dont got sleep apnea so they don’t want to do it😳 what? Yea it’s about time. Thank you for this information
Sir i have tonesil stones its smells really bad, also my tung fury, i have this problem in 8 years i tried different of medicines but not feel better i thinking i want to remove my tonsils If any other opetion for better life
Hi so my 5 year old daughter has really large tonsils but she is never sick or has a problem eating .but she does snore really bad..I'm nervous about the surgery..should I go through with it or wait ? They also say it's a harder recovery if you wait till your child is older ?
I am no doctor, but I feel as if you wait till your child is older the recovery will be more rugged, but I do not know because I've heard younger kids having a less harder time. It's kind of different for everyone, maybe you should ask a local doctor
so i haven’t had tonsil stones for a couple months now but they came back and i’ve been struggling to sleep deeply and i have no clue if that has anything to do with my tonsils or not
How have u been doing and how old r u? Age sometimes has an impact, I only get them every couple years or so maybe 2-3 since 19, I’m 24 going on 25 in September and I don’t want this getting worse in the future cause I have terrible ocd when it comes to my mouth and crippling health anxiety and a fear of knowing and not knowing what’s wrong with me I know it’s crazy! If it’s a very mild case I’d go to the dentist and see what they think off of looking at them and getting up there better than u could and maybe investing in a water pick which is what I’ll be buying next time I go in for my cleaning on March 10th and I’ve invested in therabreath mouthwash which I heard was good for breath (I never notice anything besides normal morning break and just got done eating breath w me personally) and the break down of stones! There’s also a recipe that called for 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt (check yt for this recipe so u get this right I’m going off of memory) and that seems to work very good from the commenters at making them break down and come out but wash your mouth or take a drink of water after because of the acidity of the mixture! I’m only on my moms insurance until 26 so I’m terrified of having this get worse in the future and not having insurance and also just being older when I do it! The stones never cause pain just a feeling of a popcorn kernel in the back of my throat that’s all no pain accompanied with it but if it’s interfering with your quality of like and breathing as well I’d go to your dentist see if they can refer u to an ent and have them look at it too, if your dentist doesn’t think so but u still think so then call around and find an ent that takes your insurance and go for peace of mind! Good luck fam the struggle is real😭
If they aren't causing a problem, keep them, especially now during a pandemic. They are part of your immune system and even though you can get by fine without them, now is probably a bad time to reduce your immune system's arsenal of weapons.
im 25 and just had mine removed a few days ago because I have severe sleep apnea. I'm confident it will change my life for the better. If you have sleep apnea, I highly recommend you do as well.
If i dont brush my teeth for 1 night i get a sore throat, its been like this all my life especially when i was a kid, im 35 now. If this tonsillitis, doctors only ever give me amoxycillin.
I'm on day 4 post surgery, just stay ahead of the pain and hydrate. It really hasn't been THAT bad. Hydrate, ice packs, and rest! You can do this!
Thank you
I too am now on day 4 post surgery. I can honestly say it was THAT bad! 😅🤣 I was so unprepared for how much pain I've been in. Pain meds and ice packs all the way! Just sleep through the first 5 days to not have to endure the unbelievable pain! It's so much worse than I expected.
BUT! I know the experience is different for everyone!
No pain meds, Florida has passed a law about narcotics. I got baby Tylenol ever 8 hrs. My doctor refuses anything else. The pain is UNBEARABLE
@@sarahpatterson4729 that is horrible! i really feel for you 😢
I decided to take a sip of my boyfriend’s coffee because it smelled so good. It was SO easy to swallow warm liquid! It saved me a trip to the ER!
@@sarahpatterson4729 THAT is ridiculous! My ENT told me that getting your tonsils out is one if the most painful things we can do to the human body!
It’s a painful recovery but very well worth it. You won’t regret getting your tonsils removed!
I hope not...
I got mine out
Agree
I agree
Just had my tonsils removed. It's day 3 and the pain is just awful!!!! But I'm glad I got rid of them because they were causing me infections every month
I've had an ENT and a doctor I just went to for Sleep Apnea tell me I have very large tonsils. Also, for the past 5 or so years, I have had a gagging cough that seems triggered by change in air temperature, smell, or physical exertion. I also have had halitosis that leaves a strong sulphuric smell whenever I have a sneezing fit. I also have a terrible snoring issue, hence the sleep study. All three have had an effect on my marriage. I often have to sleep downstairs becaus of the snoring. My wife can't help but wince when I go to kiss her. She will sometimes ask if I had farted, when I have not... sometimes I just say yes, because that is less embarrassing. She also always comments on how unhealthy my cough sounds. I am about to find out the results of my sleep study on Friday. Tonsillectomy was brought up, but later finding out that I may kill three HUGE, awful, life burdening birds with one stone has me elated! I have always been on the urge of breakdown having those things always on the back of my mind, especially the halitosis -as I cannot depend on kisses to make me feel better anymore. Attempting to do so just often makes me feel worse, and no matter how many times I saw the dentist and brushed, it felt hopeless. 2020 has been a rough year, but if I can be rid of these burdens, it just might be the best year of my life!
Hey Rick I hope your surgery went well and you are getting all the kisses in the world. I hope your confidence has been restored ND life is better. God bless
Hope it helped also ❤
I Am Day 4 of my Surgery. The pain is crucial. Prepare your self. You won’t be able to eat your ears will hurt also. Like Nike Once said. “Just Do It” Prayers 🙏🏻 Sent To Everyone Going Thru This. 😊
Why did you get it done? Sleep apnea
@@elperrocovero Get it done if many bouts of TRUE strep throat or actual obstacle when breathing. Tonsil stones can be dealt with. This pain is something else. And yea, can't eat for like 2 days and pain even with cold stuff.
I’m getting my tonsils out next week, because I’ve been getting horrible tonsil stones for nearly two years now. I’m excited to have the procedure, because it means I don’t have to deal with the tonsil stones anymore, but this is the first surgery I’ve ever had, and I am TERRIFIED! Also, I’m really not looking forward to the recovery.
Best of luck to you. You'll get through it.
Omg I had my done last week because of tonsil stones I’m so mad. It’s weird that the pain gets worse as the days go by. I have lost 10 pounds, still can’t speak and choke at night and wake up in pain. Only good thing I’m on my 5th day and I have not had any vomiting or bleeding but I developed thrush which was never mentioned to me as a side effect. Good luck .
sha tay I didn’t know thrush was a possibility!? That’s scary! I’m actually slightly excited about the weight loss part. If I lose 10 pounds, I’ll be half way to my goal 😂😂 I hope you have a speedy recovery, though! I’m definitely VERY nervous.
Bethany Wilson how are you feeling? I’m on The 24th day which is much better than that first 2 1/2 weeks which was hell. I can talk now. I still have off and on rawness on the roof of my mouth, dry mouth and I sleep with humidifier. I have very little ear pain. I am not 100%but I’m getting there. You will feel much better once the scabs come off it was like magic.
sha tay I’m feeling much better as well!! I’m on day 15, and I’m almost back to normal. I can almost eat anything, as long as I take small bites and chew really well. I’m glad I’m not the only one that was having issues with chocking at night. I was choking 5-6 times a night, and it would really freak me out! Plus, the drool situation was ridiculous!!! I’m so glad you’re feeling better, and I hope the procedure was worth it for your future health!
I had red throat and tonsil stones all the time for years. I also had sore throat, or rather my tonsils were sore every two days, not to mention recurring trachea infections. Now I'm recovering from the surgery and I hope that it'll all be better.
How is everything going now?
Tell us now ..what is Ur condition now?? Qulty of life chng ??
Had my tonsils out at age 60. They were huge and was getting tonsillitis up to 5 times per year. After surgery, the pain was terrible and I drank slurpees for 5 days. However it was the best thing I ever did. Strep throat free!
U feel any side effect plsssss
@asma545 After all healed no side effects at all.
Some Dr told me if u remove them they cause isue In future ...so I m confuse....my tonsils are infected also aednio
Day 7 post op. The pain is definitely hell but you have to play minds games to help yourself push through. Stay on top of you pain meds and antibiotics to help you heal
I’ve had Strep 61 times in the past 5 years! Now I’m being sent to an ear nose and throat specialist next week because I had strep in September October December and also February! It sucks so bad just happy I might be at a solution!
Its so much pain and suffering getting strep throat every month it happens to me too. You got them removed? How's it now??
Thank you for this video. My 6-year-old son is having his tonsils and adenoids removed next week because his ENT recommended it after his dentist referred him for severe grinding of his teeth. He has sleep apnea, teeth grinding, snores, and bedwetting (he sleeps so hard that he wets himself and still doesn't wake up). He even sleeps through loud storms. I have struggled with whether or not this was the right decision since it is surgery on my child. You really helped educate me and ease my nervousness about my child's upcoming procedure. I appreciate your videos. It looks like I am making the best decision for my son. Thanks again.
How did it go? How is he now?
Hie even, my son is due in 12 days. How was it for your son, post op? The pain and any side effects. Did the bedwetting stop and how was his breathing and sleep after the surgery
Thank you for making this video! You make me feel comfortable and your knowledge had been very helpful!!! I had my tonsils taken out 1 day ago. The pain is real but I’m hoping that it’s worth it. I can already breathe so much better and all the swelling hasn’t gone down all the way yet.
Day 14 -18 ll get better
Did you ever get the surgery how did it go? I'm 29 years old and due to get surgery march 23rd and I'm terrified
@@JazzysExoticCooking I have to get mine out in 1 month.. also terrified. How did your recovery go??
@@ShamanNoodles Awww don't be scared you'll be just fine sweetheart just relax you'll be ok! I felt the same way before my surgery and I'll be 30 years old in 3 weeks so I know exactly how you feel! My recovery was great better than I expected the pain was very severe expecially days 4-9 then I had pain in both my ears which didn't go away till day 10 but it gets better! I was prescribed liquid oxycodone and was told to take tylenol and ibuprofen over the counter since you can't swallow pills after the surgery In order for me to take tylenol or ibuprofen I would smash it on the table with a hammer until it turns into powder then I put it inside some applesauce and it was easy to swallow the pills that way. I took tylenol and ibuprofen every 3 hours which I was told my surgeon and I just alternated the tyIenol and ibuprofen for example I took tylenol and then 3 hours later I took ibuprofen and I took the oxycodone every 6 hours which was AMAZING for the pain! The oxycodone was great for pain expecially when it gets severe! Ask for liquid oxycodone not pills! Once you take the pain medication the pain goes away completely you just feel the pressure when you swallow but that's it! I took oxycodone for 10 days, after 10 days the pain started to go down little by little so I started taking tylenol and ibuprofen only after day 10 I didn't need the oxycodone anymore and the ear pain went away. I had my surgery on June 12th and by June 26th the pain was completely gone! So basically I felt better 15 days after the surgery and I have a very low tolerance to pain I struggled with huge tonsils my entire life so I have no regrets I'm happy I got them out. Buy ice packs at least 8 of them that's what helped me with the pain as well I am actually going to post a video of my tonsillectomy recovery experience and what I ate and drank and things I used that helped during my recovery the video should be posted on my youtube Channel this Saturday or Sunday so be sure to check it out! You'll be just fine they will put you to sleep and your surgery will be quick before you know it the surgery will be over it's a very simple procedure once you get home keep up with your pain meds make sure you eat and drink lots of water and you'll feel better in no time you'll be just fine ❤
@@JazzysExoticCooking Thank you so much for your long and heartfelt response! This is going to help me huge! 32 years old here
Very informative thank you so much for sharing. My 4 years old has tonsillectomy surgery in 2 days. She has sleep apnea and its very difficult for her.. I'm really nervous especially at this time with the pandemic going to do her surgery, but your video calmed me down that I'm making the right decision..
Have you any update on this? My child's due the op soon the same age
My god you listed every single medical issue I've ever had in my life, right down to the small narrow jaw. I'm getting this surgery.
My tonsils ate not enlarged as shown in the images but they are irritated and red. They have been this easy for months now. About one to two years ago I would get strep throat several times a year as well as constant sinus infections.
One big change I've noticed is that when I talk for too long or sing a song(literally just one), i feel am uncomfortable pressure as if I had been crying.
If you is interested in cures for tonsil stones the best info that ive ever had was by using the Simons Stone Stopper (i found it on google) without a doubt the most incredible remedy that I have ever followed.
Mine years
omg.. i had the same prob with talking too long and singing. Has that been solved since you posted this??
I'm currently having this right now. And school just started and bc of the masks I'm having trouble breathing and it's making me get headaches for lack of oxygen. Currently I'm at home, I just told my parents on what I was feeling and so far we're just speculating that it could be a beginning stage of tonsillitis bc of the swollen ness of the tonsils. We just have to go to the doctor to confirm and talk about what to do to cure it.
@@BeeHappyLitteBee how old are you?
I'm having the procedure on Thursday. I had Tonsilitis 4 times in 1 month & 5 times in 2 months. Too much time off work, too many antibiotics and too much stressing about my health.
What should I do? My tonsil stones are back again. It keeps coming back. Should I remove my tonsil?
Would a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy be beneficial to a child with constantly enlarged tonsils and adenoids but very rare episodes of throat pain? Also, if both are removed, isn’t that a large chunk of lymphatic protection gone? Any tips for maintaining good health post removal please?
Omg thank you! I have tonsil stones and they give me halitosis! I feel so insecure about it!
Only way to get rid of them is removal I just got mines tooken out today
Vanessa Cazares How are you recovering
@@TheRealBleach 1st day ok 2nd day tired and uncomfortable today my 3rd day not too much pain just uncomfortable still drowsy got rid of pain medication yesterday It's gonna be worth it though and thank u for asking bleach
Tonsil stones are a curse
Vanessa Cazares Damn you are lucky, from what I heard from others, they experience over salivation and bleeding. Hopefully I will be as lucky as you when I get mine removed.
Why do we have tonsils in the first place, if they cause so many problems? And what was humans' relationship with tonsils a few centuries ago? Was it also a big or even bigger problem even then? And if not, why is it such a big problem in modernity? Could it be the way our diet has evolved over the years? Apologies for all the questions. I'm just really interested in the topic.
Every body part, whatever the function/purpose, can develop problems. That has always been true. It has nothing to do with diet.
Most of it, i think its because of unhealthy habits... I smoke n drink gas carbonate drinks and its bad for tonsil
No wonder smokes n alcohol is haram 😂
I will be going for my operation after next week I really needed this, thanks
How did it go
I was on my 4th antibiotics in a row and still has a problem, they just didn't work. I have to say stop and have my tonsils removed. This was obviously good example of antibiotics resistance, super exhausting.... I'm on day 10 and since yesterday without any painkillers, feeling quite good already. Don't hesitate or worry, if I have to, I would have tonsilektomy again, so it wasn't really bad.
I have Severe sleep apnea and my tinsels are 3+ and 4+. My ent is looking at removing mine in the next few month. He is wanting to do a soft pallet surgery.
I have a surgery but not tonsils tho I'm really scared to get my surgery because of the corono virus people don't be afraid to get any kind of surgery because God is always with you
I got tested for Covid says prior to surgery
Don't be scared
Hello doctor, I have frequent tonsil stones, about one or two every week, it’s been going on for years, and my ears usually feel stuffed too. As a singer it’s pretty annoying; should I seek a ent to remove them?
I was getting about two tonsil stones per day before I got mine out
Seri Elizabeth hey seri can u text me at my Instagram jokar12356
Seri Elizabeth was that the reason why you removed them?
This video was great and super informative! Thanks for posting
Thanks Dr. Liu very informative..
Will I see any difference in my breadth.
Coz I m also suffering from bad breadth and a lot of people tell that getting your tonsils out might solve the problem.
I just got mine out yesterday i hope its fixed
Even good taste different I use to get rotten taste with certain food
@@vanessacazares9517 so good food taste different after the surgery?
@@vanessacazares9517 did it solve your problem ? Are you better? This would be much appreciated.
How is your surgery? Did the bad breath fade away?
Questions are;
What guidelines do ENT use for paediatric surgeries ??? I’ve not located one that is public or available through the intranet (works medical access bases).
2) Tonsillectomy. Why would “tonsils” be coughed up entirely (burned off with diathermy in OT left inside grade 2-3 in babies). Instead of removed “diathermy” used in what seems like deep burning of the tissues. (It’s definitely not tonsil slough/ scabs or stones). I thought it was tonsil scabs LARGE ones with the professor in ENT verbalising no they are “tonsils”. Day 4 post op that case was & 13 months old. That case had the errored “supraglottoplasty” in that T’s & A’s surgery aswell. Yet OT report stated much different to what transpired. The tonsils were said to be removed. Diathermy was said to be used for bleeding control instead of stitches. The professor again told me off records “they are tonsils”. Everything I thought was off on that kid was right he wanted me to know. However didn’t go into why you’d have tonsils still in & cough them up?
3) why did they use diathermy? Is this something all ENT use in babies under 2/3 years ie
I am so scared to have tonsillectomy, get stinky tonsil stone all the time and I am tired of gagging every morning. Bad breath is also possible. May God be with me🙏🏽💕
I think I have strep or tonsillitis. I’m 23 and have been having tonsil stone form for years. I’m gonna go to the doctor in a few hours and talk with him about it.
You didn't mention tonsil stones. My daughter was getting them more and more frequently and requested her tonsils be removed.
He did 7:02
Please what are the remedies of Thunsilisis besides removal
Thank you so much I’ll be starting ent next month
I just had my tonsillectomy done 6 days ago and it is hell!! Pain beyond pain! But, my ENT told me that adults generally do not have adenoids and they’re primarily in children.
chances for having infected adenoids is till 13 or 14 i guess
Excellent information!
I’m just wondering. Have you yourself had them removed?
Stating hydrated is the hardest part!
What if I always have a sore throat all year round and I’m constantly drinking water and gargling water throughout the day
I've had my appendix removed a couple years ago and now my tonsils. I have some mild allergies. Am I compromising my immune system?
An Obstruction can not only lead to OSA, but also to Upper-airway-resistance-syndrome (UARS), where you don't stop breathing, but still struggle to get a sufficient airflow while sleeping. The symptoms of UARS are pretty bad too, Exhaustion, constant headaches etc.. I will hopefully get my Tonsils out soon, while i am not officialy diagnosed with specifically UARS i have a Diagnosis of Tonsilhyperplasia and Insomnia. My home sleep study did not measure any breathing apneas. I have videos of me sleeping, where you can hear something, most likely in my throat, thuding against something, while i breathe out (Maybe my Tonsils?!?). In one video you can also see that i hardly get enough air in. Thats why i think i have probably UARS. Also UARS is widely underdiagnosed, because its not as easy to measure as OSA. Still the symptoms the patient feels are just as bad. Please be aware that this is also a possibility, so someone like me knows quicker what the source of their suffering may be.
Pain relief post Tonsillectomy in kids; what do you recommend?
Some only panadol & ibuprofen
Others (babies even) get charted regular automatic endone 4 hourly or others PRN.
Then other kids your near fighting for anything more then Panadol in kids that developed pain / unable to swallow etc.
Ibuprofen never was given yet now depending on the ENT its charted for babies/ kids.
What’s your standard on this?
So who’s the best doctor to visit about tonsils and sleep? Eyes ears and throat? And sleep doctor? I have really bad LOUD snoring and the back of my tonsils look Swollen
Otolaryngologist "ENT for short, Ear, nose and throat
If adenoids don’t have any wrong, do doctor takeout the same time with tonsils too?my child have large tonsils make her snore and mouth breathing .

I grind my teeth and have trouble breathing. Just found out I have tonsil stones. Can I get my tonsils removed? My throat is really bumpy too :( the main issue isn’t even that I can’t breath it’s the distress. I have OCD and the stones bother me enough that I spend hours a day tearing my throat apart and not eating for days to avoid getting food in the crypts
I started having tonsil stones a few years ago and the holes keep getting bigger. I'm supposed to get them removed on April 5 but I'm freaking out because I have a baby and a year old so the staying still is going to be hard.
Wondering how this went for u and how old u r? Heard it hurts more the older u r but I feel like it’s the person, I’ve only ever had 2-3 stones since I was 19 (I’m turning 25 in September) and I’m only on my mom’s insurance until I’m 26 but I too have terrible ocd about my mouth and I had all four of my wisdoms pulled at the same time 2 infected and I didn’t feel any pain what so ever after that never even knew I got them out and I’m just so terrified of getting them out because like u, I’m on day 3 of barely eating anything cause I’m too scared🥺😭anytime I feel even a little piece back there I freak out then when I’m done eating a check and nothing seems to be wrong but I still freak out and have to brush and mouthwash after, I also have crippling health anxiety and I don’t want this to worsen later on in life and be even older getting this done! Not to mention probably having no insurance at that time too cause no where offers good coverage now a days 😭😭seriously wishing I would’ve just had this done when I was a kid🥺I feel your pain but I’m interested to know if u were able to get them out? I don’t have trouble breathing and the stones always just on one tonsil and every couple months or even years but the ocd in me prevents me from eating for a week or two regularly at least until I just forget about it eventually and just start getting back to eating. I’m sorry u gotta go through that but let me know how you’re doin now and any advice u may have! I’m going in for a dental cleaning jar I’m gonna ask my dentist to look at them to see what her opinion is and if it’s just the one w the crypts or both! I wish u luck and wish me luck! We’ll get through this! Anxiety and ocd r a motherrrr
Hi dok is it ok to get my 3yrs old surgery? Hows the pain for the kids after surgery?
Thankfully my tonsils were removed when I was 5 years old I remember vividly mid surgery and the recovery process. I also remember Many bad memories of all the infections I had before my doctor removed them. The fever hallucinations i would get I can only describe as acid trips.
Dear Doctor. I was a singer. When i was 34 I had a tonsillectomy. After that my falsetto or head voice range decreased of almost one octave. Half range. Never came back. What could go wrong? I have not Adenoids since when i was a child. Im 47 now. Thank you
I know I’m not the doctor but a lot if not everyone who gets theirs out says it changes your voice cause you have more room back there, if you just know how your new voice sounds I think you can look up some good throat exercises to maybe hit those octaves again!
@@paigeanne1325 thank you for your suggestion. I just made my first 2 laringostrobo visit but the images are little poor. Seems like i have no issues in the borders of my vocal folds and this is strange. I can phonate in almost every kind of position of the laryngs .. up...down...neutral...compressed...decompressed.....relaxed...mix...false chords...inhaled exhaled etc. But nothing the range keeps being the same. Nobody understands what's the problem. I posted 2 videos of the stroboscopy . My feeling is that....could be something so simple to be invisible. It s so frustrating........
@@waxlrose06 ugh I’m so sorry u have to go through that! I still have mine so I can only assume but maybe try a coating technic? Like oil or honey before singing? That might help!
@@paigeanne1325 i tried E-vitamin oil. Ialoclean . Professional and unprofessiomal hydrating products and oils. Vapes. Manipulations of the throat and the neck. One day i also tried a skin hydrating cream of a she friend o mine who uses it for body shower ahahhaha. Nothing. No results. I think the problem is biomechanical connected to the pharynx. Pharynx is underestimated in my opinion for the range problems. There are more than 150 muscles involved in the singing and even just talking phonation. For not talk about nerves n cartilages. Participating all together it all works. U damage even just one and there's no harmony anymore. Just like walling. It s so easy to walk but it involves hundreds of body parts. Even the ears.....
@@waxlrose06 I’m so sorry! 😭 I would just try the low ooohhhhmmmmm exercises to try and see how your new voice works! Hey if anything u just gotta relearn songs that go well w the new voice! Maybe yea and honey to sooth too! Again I’m so sorry that’s happening to u man! If you still got a singing voice then I say work with it and grow to like it!
I have really right throat nasal pain some problems with my eyes and now my chest is really hurting going to an Ohio state ENT and hopefully he gets them out for me and I have really bad headaches I’m 25 do you think this is tonsel related I’ve had to use over the counter nasal spray for about the past 5 years because I’ve always had problems and now it’s not going away no matter what we tried
Hi I want to know How dangerous it is for a adult to do this surgery
In general, it is not dangerous. It is always, however, a really tough recovery. Without any details into your general health, it is impossible to answer this question for you. You could, however, ask your primary care doctor about the general risks of surgery and anesthesia.
@Sarah Bjerketvedt hi did your uvula go down or is it still huge? Did you ever get the surgery how did it go? I'm 29 years old and due to get surgery march 23rd and I'm terrified
@Sarah Bjerketvedt Thank you for the advice and yes I'm 29 my surgery is march 23rd so I'm nervous but only because I have a 1 year old daughter but I'm prepared and ready to get it over with I'm happy you have recovered and are doing much better now. 😊
ive had tonsillitis for 8 years im not sure if i should get them out, i only have a couple symptoms but i have a sore throat everyday. what should i do?
Omg i think I need to get mine removed! My tonsils obstruct passage. One more than the other. Should I get them removed? One takes up half of my throat passage.
I had mines removed at 17 and it was the worst! I had lost 8lb at only 100lbs couldn’t talk and missed my last few months of high school. Drinking blended food out of a straw was the hardest even drinking water hurt. My issues lasted for a very long time!
how long was you drinking blended food?
@@No-jr7jg two months but it really depends on the person I’ve heard others heal time being quick and easier
I've been experiencing recurring tonsillitis since I was a child. I'm originally from Jamaica (now in NYC) and tonsillectomies are not very popular. But I'm thinking I should have them extracted. I haven't kept track of how frequent the infections are but they happen quite often. Do I need to be experiencing issues to have a tonsillectomy?
I saw an ENT for 5 mins and he wants to do a tonsillectomy. I have one tonsil that is larger than the other with ear and jaw pain on that side and intermittent swollen lymph nodes. My throat has been inflamed for over 18 months. I'm hesitant to get my tonsils out since they are part of the immune system, but I'm also afraid it may be cancer. Are there any other tests I can do before going straight to the tonsillectomy? The doctor didn't do a scope and a CAT scan revealed nothing.
Blood tests and scans can tell you if something is "bad" when they are abnormal. Blood tests and scans can never guarantee that something is not "bad".
I'm the same my throat has been inflamed and one tonsil is larger how did it go for you
@@julieannbrown7226 I canceled my tonsillectomy bc i found out i am pregnant again. Still have the same issues and am worried, but can't do anything right now anyways! I'm actually thinking some of the throat issues are related to EBV. I know it's not good to put concerns off, but for now, that's where I am. Please share if you end up finding anything out!
@@UMblue83 I got mine done yesterday the surgeon said when they were put beside each other they were similar in size and soft so looks good but still have to be sent off to be tested

I’m 24 and have mild sleep apnea and have had chronic tonsillitis for the last two years. I recently visited a local ENT MD and he almost immediately approved a tonsillectomy in my case. My surgery is scheduled for August 29th.
I also have Mitral Valve Prolapse with regurgitation so going under anesthesia worries me.
After reading online recently, post-operative bleeds have me pretty freaked out.
I requested two weeks off of work for recovery (I work as a manager and auto mechanic) hopefully this is long enough to recover enough to get back to work.
Bryceton O'Neal how did it go ? Can you please update ?
How is your life without tonsils?
Will it affect my speech when I will undergo surgery? I keep going to my EENT, Karmellosan seems to no longer works. I have had a 3 high fevers for this year (2 of them just this October recently). I am afraid since I have a fever, canker sore, sore throat, whitey tonsils, and swelling lymph nodes on my neck part. It sounds I'm having COVID-19, but I know it is with my tonsil. I have diagnosed before for having Acute Tonsilitis, but the doctor did not advised for any surgery, just Karmellosan. Please do advise, thanks!
Is a dental problem cause tonsils?
Showing this to my dr if he says to me one more time that getting tonsillitis 2-5 times a year for the past 14 years isn’t enough reason to get them removed
Wtf!!? You need to change doctors.
Can a tonsil stuff up one side of the nose and/or cause one ear to feel stuffy???? Im in my late 30s, and for the last year and a half my right side has felt stuffy most of the time, and my ear hasnt been able to equalize properly. My right tonsil has also grown and fallen down into my throat, but not blocked it. I feel like when I swallow my right side isnt the same as my left. So far no ENT has figured out the issue.
How have you been doing?
So, recently I had probably about 2 infections on my tonsils this year which they gave me medication the first time and went away but atm they provided me with medication for my current strept and it suppresses it but as soon as I finish my medication it slowly comes back. Never completely gone. So I’m actually going to see a throat specialist to see what he recommends.
This is EXACTLY what happened to me and when I saw an ENT I was immediately scheduled for surgery. I'm so ready!
@@EcchiAngel how was it?
Day 5 home from surgery I started hemorrhaging & ended up having emergency surgery & back to square 1
The procedure scares me, but more what does is there recovery. Everyone makes it sound awful and I'm usually unlucky when it comes to falling in the unlikely to happen category. I'm scared in going to bleed out after the surgery. I kind of don't want to do it but I dont want what happened three weeks ago to happen again.
Apm I’m in day 3 of recovery and just want to say that it’s hard but bearable. They gave me medicine to prevent bleeding so that hasn’t been a problem at all! I recommend you to do it!
Same
u wont bleed if u take good care after the operation.. avoid hard/sharp/hot food. And drink lots of cold water throughout the day even small sips at a time coz it hurts as hell just drinking water. Avoid acidic food or drinks too like orange/lemon juice, it hurts. I lost alot of weight during post tonsillectomy like 8-10kg as i was eating very little each day. But after day 15 u can slowly begin to eat more solid food. I'm at day 25 now and i'm back on normal food now. I feel great too
Ive already removed my tonsils, its so hard for first 5 to 8 days, ear hurts, jaws kinda numb and hurts, then the eating orocess so difficult! But its worth it, its okay unless you dont suffer all the symptoms you feel!
I feel like my tonsils aren’t big, but I choke, cough and gag almost every time I eat or drink. I also get tonsil stones all the time. I finally set up an appointment after 4 years of coughing and gagging everyday. And I think the tonsil stones effect dental hygiene even though I brush, floss and use mouthwash. I guess I’ll see what happens 🤔
Good luck with the appointment. Sounds very frustrating.
How much cost if i plan to remove my tonsils?
I have just had mine taken out 3 days ago and I'm in a lot of pain
I am having my out in few weeks. Plus I am having uppp done I am 29
What if adenoids have also 30 years one and they make a lots of infections ? Any recomendetions?
I am 38 years old my tonsils are super big with some white pose on it. he cause me to have sleep problems I would like to know what can I do it really weigh on me.
My daughter over the last 6 months sounds like she’s talking with a stuffed nose but she doesn’t have a stuffy nose but she has been having issues with swollen glands and those smelly stones she’s only 12 I am very concerned because this has been going on passed several years coming and going. Is this a situation to have this surgery ?? Her glands are almost touching the middle piece of throat. NO SORE THROAT
(For anyone to read) Hi! I just got my tonsils out.. almost 4 days ago, (on my fourth day) And I just hope nothing bad would happen... My mom said on day 7-10 I will bleed because of a scab. And this is my first surgery for my throat, And... I ate chicken on the first day, But I chewed well..... it’s getting a bit hard to breathe, but I hope it’s worth it. And I’m 10 and older, so I might have more pain. And I have to take Advil and Tylenol every THREE HOURS! It’s annoying. But it’d be nice if someone could talk to me by replying, If I get the notification. 😔🤍
*_-Artiiq Gacha-_* hey! im getting my tonsils out next week. is there any foods you would recommend and is it painful after surgery. Im not sure what to expect so if you could tell me abit about the surgery it would be really useful:)
I've never had any issues with my tonsils or throat infections in general, however I had a very random and serious polymicrobial infection with strep group C...I wasn't responding to antibiotics (and allergic to penicillin) after 7 days of not eating and barely drink I went to ER, i had a bilateral peritonsillar abscess (that's when they took the culture) -- the ENT I was sent to told me he needed to do a tonsillectomy, I tried saying no multiple times but was persuaded into the procedure. I am now experiencing paramount of issues, 60 days out. --- my question, why would am ENT be so insistent on the tonsillectomy if there's been no history ? And will I ever feel normal again!? - I have a constant scathing dry feeling, and pain when swallowing, my tongue has lost its flexibility, posterior papillae are swollen, gross metallic taste constantly, can't taste my food accurately, vocal changes and can't sing yet, and the feeling that something is stuck at the back of my throat, constant and worsens at night. I'm so devastated. Any information would be a huge blessing !
Sorry to hear about your struggles. Your situation is certainly rare with bilateral PTA. One episode of severe infection can be enough of an indication for surgery. I can't speculate in your personal circumstance though. Some PTA are managed medically, some with needle aspiration, some with incision and drainage, some with tonsillectomy. Every situation is different. It is also entirely possible that your symptoms are from having had an infection bad enough to require surgery in the first place. There may or may not still be changes/improvement, and I would recommend contacting your surgeon about your ongoing issues. Hope you get better soon.
Or your ENT is a "cut happy" surgeon like I feel mine was. He didn't even ASK if I'd had a history of infections. Was they were a bit larger than normal and das it!
@@lizicadumitru9683 I think I agree with you. My throat has been screwed ever since, post two years :(
@@ChantelStays Really sorry to hear that Chantel. Hopefully it will heal itself. Glad I didn't let that same doctor cut my mother's thyroid out.

Just a question should I get my tonsills removed if I had 8 tonsilites cases in half a year and because my tonsills are big is it the reason that every time i lay down on my bed or sofa or anywere I cant breath out of my nose ??
Ps. Sorry for bad english and misspelings😅
Hi Doctor new subscriber here, I am having problem with this whitish thing ( cobble stone ) left and right of my throat but can't remove them because there is
no hole but for some I can remove them if they form, normally when I'm tired or sick, skin gets like harder if you push using stone remover tool and hard to breath as well, only few air is coming in inside my nose. Had a check up and there was no polyps. What it can be? Do I need tonsillectomy?
Had mine removed had chronic tonsillitis that didn't go away
how can i tell if i have tonsils?
I'm 26 and my tonsils get super swollen and bock my airway a lot of the time. I have to take really deep breaths to get sufficient air and get them about 3 times a year and I'm very careful with washing my hands, being clean, and wiping surfaces. Do you guys think removing the Tonsils is worth it? I know the recovery would be painful as hell but I'm tired of airway blockage and needles poking my throat ( not including fevers, etc). I've been having this since i was 12, they advised my mother to remove it but she said no when i was at a young age. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to this message, tell me your experience.
Jonathan Gonzalez go to an otolaryngologist (ENT) as they are the best person to ask this question.
Hi. I'm facing the same issue for last two months. 5 days ago i went to an ENT surgeon for surgery and now I'm feeling a little bit pain. I want to ask one thing that did your breathing difficulty was resolved by tonsillectomy or not?
My name is Zino from Nigeria.My daughter is four and has grade 4 tonsil,she can't sleep or eat,she breath through her mouth. I have been to the doctor but they keep booking appointment for me to see ENT doctor. I don't know how much I can wait to see the doctor and my daughter is restless.
It tonsil fatal if not removed on time?
Can tonsillitis cause OCD...???
Hi I always have tonsils but when it goes away even if its after three months I still see the holes and when I have the tonsils I feel it's like my neck is swollen
Could this help improve or cure sleep apnea
chachee15 yes! I’m 11 and getting mine taken out in 2 to 3 weeks cause I have VERY bad sleep apnea and my sis had it to and it helped straight away so I’m excited to get mine out!
@Georgia And grace will it hurt to take your tonsils out??
@@crystalobviously1835 it didn't stop my apnea but im fat
@chachee15 oh ok thank you 🙏🏽 .
@@crystalobviously1835 recovery sucks. I still think i did the right thing. Im 5'10 280 lbs so if i lost about 50 pounds im sure the apnea would go away. I dont regret doing the surgery. Im breathing better through my nose.
Is there any medical treatment aside from surgery that shrink tonsils and adenoids..
It depends on why they are enlarged. They are part of the immune system, so sometimes treating an underlying issue can help them shrink. Steroids can sometimes shrink them, but usually only temporarily.
I am on day 2 of recovery and I keep crying LOOOOOL
I was like that I think it was the pain & the oxys made me very emotional.
I had my tonsils adenoids and base tonsils removed and they fixed my deviated septum and operated on my nasal passages, 2 days ago and I've found that I cant hear properly out of my left ear and cant swallow, so trying to drink water is hard cause it keeps getting stuck and not going down my throat.
How is everthing now
Did you ever get the surgery how did it go? I'm 29 years old and due to get surgery march 23rd and I'm terrified
Thank you
I’m on day 2 doing pretty good!

I have an autoimmune disorder henoch Schnolein Purpura so when I get sick it's bad. I've only gotten strep once in my life, I'm 21 but I've gotten tonsilitis maybe 2 maybe 3 times in the past two years. But three weeks ago I woke up with a sore throat and within a day my tonsils got super swollen, my lymph nodes, I had abcesses all in my throat i was throwing up blood and my airway was closing so doctors performed an emergency tracheotomy, they told me I almost died. I believe maybe the swelling had to do with my disorder but usually when I get really bad flare ups it's on my legs so I'm not sure. I never had something like that happen to me, in regards to almost dying from something like that especially that fast but they told me if might be a good idea to remove my tonsils. They didn't remove mine all the did was cut them to remove all the pus. I've been looking up as much as I can about a tonsillectomy and I'm going to talk to my doctor's but I'd like to ask if you would think it would be better to do it?
I'm sorry to hear about the dramatic situation. Getting an abscess is not that unusual, but requiring an emergency tracheotomy is almost unheard of for this issue. Taking out the tonsils when they are actively inflamed like that is a terribly difficult and bloody procedure. The standard practice is to typically drain the abscess and clear the infection with a plan to come back at a future (calmer) date to actually take out the tonsils.
One episode of abscess does not always mean we take the tonsils out. In your case, they probably recommended it because it was so dramatic and severe. From your description, tonsillectomy is certainly something worth considering.
Gene Liu, MD, MMM once I was researching the surgery, the recovery process does scare me and makes me want to back out but I also don't want what happened to happen again. Thank you very much for responding. I appreciate it so much, and thank you for all the informative videos you have posted on this topic, they're very helpful.
Hi Dr liu, there is a recent study that show that people without tonsils are more prone to upper airway infections. Is tonsillectomy still safe in the long run
The study results show an association, but not causation. Most of us are not remotely surprised that the kids who needed tonsil and/or adenoid surgery are more prone to "respiratory, infectious, and allergic diseases" because the tonsils and adenoids are part of the immune system. These types of issues lead to tonsil and adenoid problems. So whether or not these kids get their tonsils or adenoids out, they are going to be the ones that continue to have more issues than the general population. I personally don't feel that the issues are caused by the surgery, but by the underlying physiology and immune function of the patient.
"CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:
In this study of almost 1.2 million children, of whom 17 460 had adenoidectomy, 11 830 tonsillectomy, and 31 377 adenotonsillectomy, surgeries were associated with increased long-term risks of respiratory, infectious, and allergic diseases. Although rigorous controls for confounding were used where such data were available, it is possible these effects could not be fully accounted for. Our results suggest it is important to consider long-term risks when making decisions to perform tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy."
I'm a 45 year old and I had my tonsils removed for osa last year. I've got more flu and cold which I never had before. Could I be one of the rare cases that needed tonsils to quickly fend off infections before it develops into more serious kind of infection.
Dear doc, i m afraid of its effects after the surgery and i m 29 years,chronic tonsilities prob
Did you ever get the surgery how did it go? I'm 29 years old and due to get surgery march 23rd and I'm terrified
So when you said the tonsils fall to the back I think that’s why I been feeling something in my throat or something I can’t sleep because of this
Did you find out what it was ? I’m having the same feeling
And that’s why I want my 13 yr old daughter tonsils removed she gets soar throats tonsil stones bad breath since 8 doctors talking about she dont got sleep apnea so they don’t want to do it😳 what? Yea it’s about time. Thank you for this information
Sir i have tonesil stones its smells really bad, also my tung fury, i have this problem in 8 years i tried different of medicines but not feel better i thinking i want to remove my tonsils
If any other opetion for better life
What about recurring tonsil stones. They are humiliating and embarrassing
Hi so my 5 year old daughter has really large tonsils but she is never sick or has a problem eating .but she does snore really bad..I'm nervous about the surgery..should I go through with it or wait ? They also say it's a harder recovery if you wait till your child is older ?
I am no doctor, but I feel as if you wait till your child is older the recovery will be more rugged, but I do not know because I've heard younger kids having a less harder time. It's kind of different for everyone, maybe you should ask a local doctor
so i haven’t had tonsil stones for a couple months now but they came back and i’ve been struggling to sleep deeply and i have no clue if that has anything to do with my tonsils or not
How have u been doing and how old r u? Age sometimes has an impact, I only get them every couple years or so maybe 2-3 since 19, I’m 24 going on 25 in September and I don’t want this getting worse in the future cause I have terrible ocd when it comes to my mouth and crippling health anxiety and a fear of knowing and not knowing what’s wrong with me I know it’s crazy! If it’s a very mild case I’d go to the dentist and see what they think off of looking at them and getting up there better than u could and maybe investing in a water pick which is what I’ll be buying next time I go in for my cleaning on March 10th and I’ve invested in therabreath mouthwash which I heard was good for breath (I never notice anything besides normal morning break and just got done eating breath w me personally) and the break down of stones! There’s also a recipe that called for 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt (check yt for this recipe so u get this right I’m going off of memory) and that seems to work very good from the commenters at making them break down and come out but wash your mouth or take a drink of water after because of the acidity of the mixture! I’m only on my moms insurance until 26 so I’m terrified of having this get worse in the future and not having insurance and also just being older when I do it! The stones never cause pain just a feeling of a popcorn kernel in the back of my throat that’s all no pain accompanied with it but if it’s interfering with your quality of like and breathing as well I’d go to your dentist see if they can refer u to an ent and have them look at it too, if your dentist doesn’t think so but u still think so then call around and find an ent that takes your insurance and go for peace of mind! Good luck fam the struggle is real😭
My tonsils used to choke me 😢
I’m 25 year old I never have my tonsil removes and I’m thinking about removes them but I’m really scared
If they aren't causing a problem, keep them, especially now during a pandemic. They are part of your immune system and even though you can get by fine without them, now is probably a bad time to reduce your immune system's arsenal of weapons.
im 25 and just had mine removed a few days ago because I have severe sleep apnea. I'm confident it will change my life for the better. If you have sleep apnea, I highly recommend you do as well.
Joshua Dubin sake I have BAD sleep apnea and I’m 11 and getting mine out soon
@@gracey.24 Good you'll feel much better. Good luck kid
Joshua Dubin thank you
If i dont brush my teeth for 1 night i get a sore throat, its been like this all my life especially when i was a kid, im 35 now. If this tonsillitis, doctors only ever give me amoxycillin.
Very painful recovery 😔
