Is It Bad To Smoke After Tonsillectomy ?
Hey It s been 13 days including the day of surgery since my tonsillectomy , I am 20 years old and a heavy weed smoker and was hoping i could get an answer to whether its alright or not to smoke by now. I only have a little bit of white residue in my throat left and am unsure if that is what im risking getting infected. Help me out?

Hi,
Thanks for query,
I think you should leave weed smoking as it causes more irritation in your throat giving problem to healing tonsillectomy scar,
Do warm water gargling.
ok and bye.
