What to Expect When You Get Your Tonsils and Adenoids Removed

This is an educational video designed to help patients, and their families understand the surgical process, recovery, and aftercare involved in a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

Learn what happens before, during, and after the procedure—covering topics such as anesthesia, how the surgery is performed, what to expect, and common post-operative symptoms including throat pain,  ear pain, bad breath, and white spots in the back of the throat. It also provides guidance on pain management, hydration, diet, and highlights important signs such as dehydration and mouth bleeding that require prompt medical attention. By preparing patients with accurate information, the video aims to reduce anxiety, promote smoother recovery, and support caregivers in providing the best possible care at home.
