Common Symptoms
Tonsillectomy FAQs
Viral or bacterial infections most commonly cause tonsillitis. Viral infections, such as the common cold or flu, can lead to inflamed tonsils. Bacterial infections, particularly from Streptococcus bacteria (known as strep throat), can also cause tonsillitis. Other factors contributing to tonsillitis include allergies, exposure to irritants, and a weakened immune system. Regular handwashing, avoiding close contact with individuals who have infections, and practicing good hygiene can help reduce the risk of tonsillitis.
After a tonsillectomy, it is common to experience throat pain, discomfort, and difficulty swallowing for a week or two. Your doctor will prescribe pain medication to manage these symptoms. It is important to follow post-operative instructions, such as consuming cool fluids and soft foods, avoiding strenuous activities, and getting plenty of rest. It is normal for the throat to have a white or yellow coating during the healing process.
