What Could The Sensation In Throat After Undergoing Tonsillectomy Be?
I had a tonsillectomy three months ago, and some of the post op. symptoms like not taste, bad taste, also like if my throat is smaller then before is happening, my doctor says she sees nothing wrong, but as many other cases read at different forums, ...there is nothing wrong with you..? speech, but nothing is written on recovery when having these symptoms describe above, is there anything at all to get rid of this weird feeling of getting chock without been really happening?

Hello,
These type of complaints are not so unusal post tonsillectomy. But don't worry, they will go with time, as most of them are temporary changes and/or taken care of by body's own mechanism of rejuvenation.
General advise:
1. Observe strict oral & food hygiene.
2. Take bland foods which don't trouble throat & stomach either
3. Gargle frequently with propritory antiseptic oral gargles
4. Healthy and nutritious diets.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. HIMANSHU DHANAK
