Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 5 yr old had a tonsillectomy last Friday. He s been doing great, but yesterday started crying in pain due to cheek pain after eating 2 bites of soft food. This has happened every time he s tried to eat since. Cheek pain? Right in the fatty part of the cheek. Should I be concerned? Or just stick to the Tylenol & Motrin?

What Causes Cheek Pain Post A Tonsillectomy?
Hi, I understand your concern. For the moment, I recommend to give Tylenol to your child. Better check with his pediatrian to see if any further damage might have been caused. All the best.
