Hi! I was wondering how long I should wait after a tonsillectomy to have alcohol ? I m currently 6 days out (today is tuesday) and am feeling really good. I ve been off hard pain relief for three days now and my antibiotics finish Thursday morning. the party is Friday night. My throat is healing really well, swallowing is still a bit uncomfortable and the spot where my tonsils once were is still quite white but my soft palate is completely clean.
