What Causes Cheek Pain Post A Tonsillectomy?
My 5 yr old had a tonsillectomy last Friday. He s been doing great, but yesterday started crying in pain due to cheek pain after eating 2 bites of soft food. This has happened every time he s tried to eat since. Cheek pain? Right in the fatty part of the cheek. Should I be concerned? Or just stick to the Tylenol & Motrin?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
For the moment, I recommend to give Tylenol to your child. Better check with his pediatrian to see if any further damage might have been caused.
All the best.
