                        Unfortunetly, it is common for adults to have a tough time after a tonsillectomy.  You need to drink vast quanities of water and other THIN liquids.  You body is trying to produce MORE mucus to compensate for the loss.  DRINK< DRINK< DRINK!  And don't forget to deep breathe, to keep your lungs clear. dianeloder1@msn.com
