After tonsilectomy

[Xmat]

I had a my tonsil removed about 3 months ago.  About 7 weeks after surgery I statred feeling something hanging back of throat. I feel that this is a kind of mucos something. Even though try to swallow it, was in vain. And while I am sleeping, I feel dry throat.  What causes this discomfort and how can I ger rid of this.

Hi Xmat,

I had my tonsillectomy 3 weeks ago. I get the same problem. When I wake in the mornings I have a dry throat sort of like a sore throat and then it disappears when I drink water. This is common for people to experience dry throat or mild sore throat months after tonsillectomy. I also have this mucus thing on the back of my thraot as well. Doesnt seem to move when I swallow. Have you tried gargling since your surgery. This might help. This doesnt seem like its anything to be alarmed about. I have the same thing when I wake up. I just drink lots of water when I wake up and the dry throat goes away.

It may be nothing.  But to make sure one has to see into your throat. It is better you contact your ENT

best,
