Hi, my son is 9 years old & he had his tonsils/adnoids removed on January 12/12. Now 3 weeks later he started complaining of a sore throat, lightheaded & neckpain on the left side. His temperature is around 97.5. Is it common to have these symptoms 3 weeks after? I Would really appreciate an answer. Thank you.
Hi, after tonsillectomy there are some minor complications which may persist up to 3 weeks, and then they gradually disappear. This sore throat, light headdress and neck pain are minor complications of surgery, and it will disappear with in 1 week. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
