Is Post-tonsillectomy Hemorrhage A Cause For Concern?
Question: is okay time let my toddler just cry at night. she had a t&a on the dec. 1 2016. I'm afraid of her bleeding, should I still be nervous about that.
Brief Answer:
Should not be a problem.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Two weeks after a t&a (assuming that you mean a Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy), there is unlikely to be bleeding.
2. Get her throat examined again, especially if she has any signs such as, for example; pain, fever, excessive swallowing, appears pale, lethargic, a pulse rate less than 60 or more than 100 and so on.
3. I rarely examine a post T&A child after the second week.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
