I have an appointment to have my tonsils removed. What will happen during surgery?
assistant
During the surgery, your doctor will make a small incision in your throat and remove your tonsils. The surgeon will then use instruments to remove the tonsils and any other tissue that is causing symptoms. After the surgery, you may experience some soreness or swelling in your throat, which can be treated with pain medications. You may also need to take antibiotics to prevent infection. Your doctor will let you know what specific instructions you should follow after surgery.
