As per the subject, have you had a recent tonsil op?

If so, how long did you have off work if anything at all or does anyone know what the recommended time off is?

Thanks

Jules

My 3 year old had tonsils and adenoids out a couple of months ago, general anaesthetic, op took about 45 mins, overnight stay in hospital, playing with cars again the following day, sore throat for about 3 days.

That said it's meant to be considerably worse for an adult.

So it may be a few days before you're playing with your cars again.

"You should be fit to return to work 10 days after your operation. You will be fit to drive one or two days after your operation."

Got it, thanks

I didn't have it recently, but I had mine out when I was 18 and it was absolutely awful

I had 2 weeks off and needed them too! However, we are all different and some people recover a lot quicker than others and only have a week off.

I felt terrible and couldn't eat properly for a week after as it was extremely sore and I got an infection and burned up, so had antibiotics, hopefully you will have a speedy recovery and not end up like I did

I had mine out when I was a nipper and it was painful. They gave me semolins with hot jam to eat too! That was unbelievably horrible.
