What Causes Discomfort In The Throat After A Tonsillectomy?
Yes I had tonsillectomy back in 2005 and hemorrhaged. I have this constant feeling of extra tissue in throat and the last year and a half sleep apnea. I have been to 3 ENT s and have had cat scan and swallow study and I have heard everything from it bring foreign tissue to it being ligual tonsils, uvula too long, reflux etc etc. I know this tissue is causing my sleep issue but all Doctors telling me I need a sleep study but I really don t want to wear a Cpap if it s as simple as extra tissue that could be lasered

Hi,
The discomfort is due to lingual tonsil only and the same can be lasered out without the need of CPAP study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
