Who regret doing tonsillectomy?

are these all TRUE allergies or just side effects.

Quite a few doctors label allergies without understanding what allergic means.

Just nausea , diarrhoea etc do not an allergy make

True allergies wor. I did intensive allergy testing in 2005 then repeated them in 2022. It’s all recorded in the system. Some drugs I got occulogyric crisis. Some esp the strong painkillers I developed severe reaction during surgery and recorded by the docs but I did testing to confirm. I have most listed in my medik awas card but didn’t bother to update it cos it keep adding up and need to spend money make the card

Thanks for sharing. Ya my tonsillitis return 2 days after my antibiotics finish. I taking very high dose. The 625mg x3 times a day. The last course I took for 10 days.
I feel the antibiotics not working . I ask for different type of antibiotics but the doc say augmentin only lei. Since it’s broad spectrum type.

Can let me know what to expect post op? I heard pain for 2 weeks can’t take hot foods or solids only cold liquids ah?

And do you feel your throat become more dry ah? And frequent flu and infections after removal ?

Take course of steroids instead of antibiotics.

Yes if infection gone it might be your body over-reacting to the previous infection. Ask your doctor or ENT give you course of steroids instead of antibiotics.

temporary solution.cant take steroids long term.

Just a one week course to bring down inflammation should be sufficient.

but long term wise, it might be better to do tonsilectomy for asian males. ask them remove adenoids, nasal turbinates and maybe soft palate and uvula also. can lower your risk of sleep apnea
