Suggest Treatment For Severe Ear Pain After Tonsillectomy Procedure
Hello I am day 7 of my tonsillectomy, every time I eat no matter what it may be even jello is getting stuck in my tonsil holes and I automatically get a severe ear pain on whichever side the food is stuck. The ear pain gets so bad I get vertigo and I just want to rip my ear off from the pain. I was not told this, what may I do to help me I m in so much hunger I m literally crying and feel like throwing up stomach acid.

Ear pain after tonsillectomy could just be a referred pain from tonsils. Please re visit your ent to check for any infection, he may start you on antibiotics. Meanwhile you can have analgesics for pain like brufen
Vertigo is due to the same. Avoid jerky movements of the head ,drink plenty of water.
If vertigo is severe please use betaserc
