Had Bleeding After Tonsillectomy, Got Operated And Wounds Stitched. Had More Bleeding Which Clotted. Suggest?

Hi, I'm in Day 13 of a post tonsillectomy.

I bled both on the 2nd and the 4th day.

Had an op to stop the bleeding and the wounds were stitched up.

I've had a couple more bleedings which clotted and stopped after a while.

1. If the scabs continue to come off, and a further op is needed to stop bleeding. Will my body still be able to manage being put to sleep again?

2. Will there be any bleeding, when the stitched come out?

Hi,
Once stitches are taken chance of having bleeding is less.
to avoid spotting of blood do not gargle, avoid hard stuff eating and do not try to expel cough or mucous forcefully.
At the time of removing stitches chance of bleeding is rare due to healing of wound.
Ok and take care.
