Why does my 5 year old have such bad breath after her tonsillectomy? |
She had a tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy 4 days ago. Granted, I let her get away with not brushing that first day after her surgery, but she's been brushing everyday since. This evening, I decided to help her really scrub up and I noticed her tongue is completely coated and it won't come off with vigorous brushing. She's been on Tylenol with Codine (she was taking 2 tsp every 4 hours around the clock for the first 36 post-op hours and now just when she complains of pain) and one tsp. amoxollin twice a day. She's still mouth breathing and drooling while she sleeps, I guess because everythings still swollen in there. But she's not bleeding or running fever, so I don't think there's an infection that's causing the odor. Anyway, just wanted to see if any other parents have had this issue with their kids. if she's taking amoxollin or amoxocillin, it's for an infection...usually. so maybe she just needs time to heal. i'd be worried if it last longer than a couple of weeks. don't have her use mouthwash with alcohol though, that can make bad breath worse. good luck to you. Hi could the lady who first mailed about her 4 year old having a tonsillectomy mail me pls - my son had one done 11 days ago he is 3 and its been horrific - i was like you about the breath but im wondering now why the white throat is taking so long to go away? Report It eww idk ask a freaking doctor. i wouldn't worry bout it until it's fully healed i had my tonsils taken out when i was bout nine but don't but don't remember bad breath or anything but i recently had a tooth removed and my mouth felt like it was funky for a while even with brush in |
