We are considering a tonsillectomy for our 14 year old who continues to suffer with tonsillitis but forgot to ask the ENT doctor this question. How long is it usually recommended before swimming after the surgery? Since its late May, she s concerned she will not be able to go swimming this summer
Welcome to the Chat Doctor, and thanks for asking your query here It needs at least 3 weeks after tonsillectomy to resume swimming, and it also depends upon the healing so before going to swim after 3 weeks I will highly recommend getting her throat examined by the ENT surgeon to make it sure that would have properly healed hope it helpsThanks again for the question
