What Are The Side Effects Of Tonsillectomy?
My 9 year old had a tonsillectomy 5 days ago & at night (the last two) has been waking up crying, complaining of sore cheeks & teeth. I think he might be feeling sinus pain but is not sure how to describe it. Is this normal? He also has had sore ears for the last couple of days.
