Suggest A Remedy For Throat Pain After A Tonsillectomy

Hi, I have been to the doctors 2 times now due to having a tonsilectomy in July 2015. The doctor has prescribed me with medication, I went back last Friday and he gave me some neurofen liquid capsules but it feels to my throat that it is making me worse. The first time I went he has gave me this spray for the back of my throat. Since the tonsilectomy I have had Nothing but trouble with my throat like I did before the tonsilectomy. I am in absolute agony with my throat boaking and feeling ill with it. The doctor doesn t seem to be helping or the nurse could you please give me some advice on what I should do please?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you might have recurring infection in throat leading to throat pain and ill feeling..
I would suggest you to consult another ENT expert and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advised to take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, doing warm saline gargles and steam inhalations..
You can also be advised injectable steroid and painkiller to relieve inflammation and pain..
Avoid spicy and hard foods and take a soft and bland diet..
Take plenty of fluids and maintain a good oral hygiene..
You can also gargle with numbing mouthwash to relieve pain..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
