Hi @dawn_giacabazi thanks for replying, what about jaw and tongue pain, Dr said because the tongue have to be moved out of the way there will be some bruising and pain and jaw pain because of having to clamp the mouth open. My son is very difficult with this tonsils, the first time he had an infection we didn't know what it was and he didn't eat for two days, he had the fever so I thought that's all it was, when we took him to the medical center it was only then we found out it was tonsil infection and Dr gave him an antibiotic injection and it was then he was better and ate when we got home, I know him, he'll be afraid to eat after the surgery and we were told until he is eating a proper meal he will not be discharged, the hospital is free so it's not a matter of money but he'll be missing school and then we'll have the other kids at home and my husband won't get time of work, one parent has to be there at all times, but to get it done it has to be done he's had to take too much antibiotics for a child his age, I really can't deal with the stress anymore.
