What Causes Choking Feeling While Coughing After Tonsillectomy Surgery?
Hello I am in 33 days after my tonsillectomy surgery and I had a follow up with the doctor 3 days ago she told me the coughing was normal but I am experience choaking when I cough its difficult for me to sleep and when I finish coughing I have chest pain
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Coughs can be common, primarily after the first several hours post-op due to having a breathing tube during surgery. Ongoing cough for several days post-op may occur due to swelling in the surgical site and post-nasal drip due to increase secretions. Don't be worried and drink a lot of liquids to wash the secretion down.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
