my 9 year old daughter had her tonsils out 15 days ago & has had bleeding 3 times over the last 2 days, up to 3/4 of a cup of blood in total. We saw her dr. today, we trust him totally and know him personally, but he seemed perplexed as to why she was having bleeding at this point. we stopped the bleeding everytime within 5-6 minutes with ice water gurggling. She is otherwise healthy. Her scabs appear to be gone, he said. I'm worried about a small vascular tear, or a small vessel bleeding....just not sure. any suggestions?
