Can I Travel After Tonsillectomy Recovery?
I am on day 8 of my tonsillectomy recovery. I am still experiencing a lot of ear and neck pain and had very minimal bleeding. I was suppose to meet my family in Vegas for Thanksgiving, but I am not sure if it would be safe for me to fly. Would the air pressure cause more bleeding?

hello!!
Please dont worry , you can travel for thanks giving as already 8 days have passed , there will be no extra risk of bleeding. However i would still like to meet your ent doctor as bleeding , no matter how minimal , so many days after surgery is not good and may indicate a small infection.
Take care!
