My son is having tonsils, adenoids and grommets done on Monday as a day case. The doctor seems to think that discomfort wont be too bad and that, as advised above, eating and drinking should be done as normal but with the aid of painkillers in the first days. Should have him back at school in a week.
We've been told that as long as she eats, wee's and there is no bleeding she'll go home 6 hours after the operation.
Have been told she has to stay off school for 2 weeks.
I had my tonsils out as a child many moons ago, but after recent ongoing throat infections, I have been told that they have now grown back. It seems that this rare, but does happen occasionally. Hospital won't recommend removal unless the infections become dangerous.
