[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]our doctor prescribed antibiotics so that bacteria (that are normally in saliva) wouldn't settle into the newly exposed muscle, to minimize pain. At about 7 or 9 days, the scabs came off, and it was a fresh round of pain and rather disgusting to see. It does take a long time to recover. I planned an outing for day 5 but no way patient could leave the house. [b]Depending on the pain med prescribed, it can be constipating, so ask if that's the type of med and if you need stool softeners. [/b] Have a pain plan -- weaning from the prescription to over the counter, know what otc and what dosage. [/quote] Definitely! I had my tonsils out when I was eight and did not do #2 for two weeks! The pain from that bowel movement was almost as bad as the pain from the surgery. The medicine that led to that ordeal was Tylenol with codeine.[/quote]
