Hi, my 5 year olds pulse is visible on the neck, very visible in the first 15-20 minutes when he goes to sleep, less but also visible when he sits, he had a tonsillectomy 3 days ago, the pulse was never visible before this surgery, to whom shall I consult? Shall i get worried about this change? Thanks
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Soon after tonsillectomy, there will be inflammation for some days.Hence, the pulse is felt and nothing to worry about. Even normally also it is seen in thin people. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V.
