When Can One Chew Tobacco After Tonsillectomy?
It s been 6 days now since my tonsillectomy and I ve been going strong without nicotine for a few days with maybe a hit of a cigerette or so here and there but I was wondering if I could start to dip tobacco again, I ve been drinking plenty of fluids, and am even eating solid food again, I just can t take the nicotine shakes and was curious if I would be able to dip again or when would U be able to start back up?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that if there is history of tonsillitis or operated for tonsil then using any tobacco product is not advisable because this could cause the infection or delayed healing, so better avoid using tobacco, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
