Suggest Remedy For Pain When Swallowing After Tonsillectomy
I am 5 weeks post surgery from having a TORS lingual tonsillectomy, with a base of tongue reduction and removal of adenoids. I am still having pain when swallowing and choke on food and liquid. my voice is higher pitch (which is ok) but I struggle with my speech now. (R s) How long does it take for this to get better? Or is it more permanent. Also I have no fever but the back of my throat is really red still.
