This pain is literally unbearable. Please please help me?!


Question: This pain is literally unbearable. Please please help me.?
I don't want to sound stupid but I had my tonsils/adenoids removed almost exactly 24 hrs ago and the pain was bad then but alteast the meds were kind of working somewhat. Now I cannot sleep through the night or swallow my spit and can hardly sit up. I can't eat and I'm not hungry I can't take my pain medications without crying. I am 16. I have not gone through this type of pain before, my tolerance is fairly high.

I just need some way to sleep through the night.I just took my liquid hydrocodone and tried to sip some water. I have an ice pack on my neck and an electric blanket on my bed.

I just want to cry. Please help me.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
can your doctor prescribe a sleeping pill.? If you get a good nights sleep, you will probably wake up feeling much better. Seriously, call your Dr's office!

I remember that. It's the swallowing. I always thought they should rent out those suction devices the dentists use from medical supply places. When you're recovering, you can just sit there with it in your mouth and it will suck everything out.

I learnt my lesson from getting my adenoid removed, and when I got an acute sore throat after that I used dry washcloths to treat my mouth by wiping out the spit. I still do it to this day. And I try to sleep face down with the washcloth in my mouth. Just try not to swallow and let it heal.Health Question & Answer

Contact your GP asking for advice. Best thing you can do. Health Question & Answer

I could give you the same answer I just gave someone else here....I just got my tonsils and adenoids out last week on Tuesday. (So, I am on day 9). Ask your doctor for Loritab, or something like that. Mine is a pill, and yes it kills you when you first take it, but after 3 min or so you feel much better. If it gets too bad lie perfectly still and it will sort of numb it. Whatever you do, take the painkiller every 4 hours without fail! If you do not, it could get pretty bad. One food I found VERY soothing was: get a small coffee cup of warm (not hot) chicken broth. Put Club or saltine crackers in it and let them soak until you have a mush. Don't feel bad about crying. It might make you feel better
