I had my tonsils and adenoids removed a week ago. Also, I had my spetum straightened, and endoscopic sinus surgery at the same time. I have been on Roxicet(syrup), cefizil(antibiotic syrup, that tastes like candy) and liquid motrin OTC and I have been doing great! I have liquid demerol if the pain gets too bad between roxicet times but havent touched it. The first 2 days were ok but thats because I was out of it! The only time I have had a sore throat is when I over slept 2 hours for my medicine and that was because I hadn't drank any water for 8 hrs. Otherwise Today is day 7 and last nigth I ate Pizza!!! Granted it hurt a little but was worth it! I am 24 and all the Dr told me was how much pain i was going to be in but It hasnt been that bad. I have drank TONS of water (ice cold) and eaten lots of popsicles and have had really no problems. However, I have this nasty film on my toungue that is DISGUSTING!!! and the Dr. said it will go away in a about another week! That is by far the worst thing I have gone through!
