How Long Should One Abstain From Kissing Post A Tonsillectomy?
I ve had my tonsils took out and the two weeks is over, there is very little bacteria now and it s a little sore so I don t know if it would be safe to kiss my partner yet, so can I kiss them or should I wait a bit longer? Does it affect my throat if I kiss them?

dear user.....kissing is averry common cause of transmisiion of infection...so if you have mild soreness you cant kiss your partner now..as even little bacteria can transmit thraugh droplet and kissing...you can wait untill complete recovery and feeling of no soreness....hope that helps...thanks
