To those of who who have had Tonsils removed....

[aphex]

How could you tell the scabs started falling off? Did you taste it? Did you spit them out, swallow them?

 

[bradruth]

The only way I could tell was to look in the mirror. I didn't feel them at all.

 

[mpitts]

Hmm.. I seriously don't remember. I don't seem to recall tasting them or spitting them out.

The reason i ask is because im very nausious right now... I remember them saying they should fall off around the 7-10th day, and im on the 8th day right now. They also said they might bleed a little which would cause me to feel sick....

I spat up just a little bit of blood about a week after, but I didn't have any major problems. I wouldn't worry about the nausea, though. I felt like crap for about 2 weeks after, both physically & mentally, so I wouldn't get too worked up about what you're feeling so far. If you start spitting up a lot of blood then it's time to go to the hospital.

Its honestly not THAT bad.... Sometimes it hurts more than others..... 70% of the day i feel fine..... The other 30% is different.....

Im glad i did it though. I can breathe ALOT better now.

D: my right tonsil has been HUGE my whole life... doctors wouldnt take it out since it wasnt really infected, just big, but breathing seems a bit obstructed even now. Even worse, now i have those tonsilothis (sp?) crap comming from my giant tonsils... wish i got to take em out

 

[PatboyX]

i never felt anything after. just like i had another sore throat for a bit.

Is there a lot? When I had mine out the doc said to call if I noticed (pretty much) any bleeding. I mentioned above that I noticed a little in my spit, but there really wasn't much at all. If you can see it perhaps you should call and see what they say.

[CraigRT]

no clue, i think i was 4

 

[freebee]

Read my post in your last tonsil thread......my bleeding got extensive....it was like a got shot in the throat....it spewed frothy red blood. And you can't swallow the blood, it causes stomach upset....so the only way is to let it dribble.

 

[sandorski]

I was only 4 at the time. All I remember was a sore throat and all the jello I could eat!

Ditto, but I was 7 when mine were removed.
