Hi, @lyndsayventuri. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I've moved your post over here where you can meet others who've gone through tonsillectomy with their children. Though they were not discussing lingual tonsillectomy in particular, I thought they might have some information that would be helpful to you.

@lyndsayventuri -- is your child scheduled for this surgery soon?

Thank you! My daughter had a tonsillectomy and adnodecotmy last May. She recently had a lingual tonsillectomy as well as palatine tonsillectomy revision and removal of adnoild nub that was either left behind or had already started to grow back. She’s still experiencing throat pain the same as before surgery so I just wondered if others had experience with the lingual tonsils as I know It’s not overly common. Last Friday was 3 weeks and we have to give It 6 weeks.
