Is Alcohol Safe To Consume Post Tonsillectomy?
Hi I'm 24, have a tonsillectomy in 4 days (Dec. 28) and was wondering if it'd be alright if I drank a few beers tonight for a Christmas Eve party without having any bad side effects..I'm 5 8, 160 pounds, otherwise healthy guy. Have had 3 prior surgeries (adnoids taken out, pick-line removed, and nodules on my vocal cords removed)

HI,
PLEASE AVOID ALCOHOL IN POST TONSILLECTOMY PERIOD ATLEAST TILL YOU GET CLEARANCE FROM THE OPERATING SURGEON.
The alcohol in any manner is harmful because it causes vasodilation thereby chances of secondary bleeding is there. Take care
