For most pediatric patients, a tonsillectomy is not very painful at all. In fact, some kids have NO pain with a certain tonsillectomy technique. Unfortunately, most adults do experience significant pain after this procedure. However, the pain experience is different for everyone. Typically, patients who have suffered from repeated tonsil infections report less pain than patients who have the surgery for another reason. Your surgeon will give you pain management medications and techniques to make it manageable.

You need to make an appointment with an ENT surgeon (otolaryngologist) as soon as possible. They will perform a full audiology evaluation, to examine your hearing, and to determine which type of hearing loss you may have. There are many possible causes of hearing loss after trauma, and the treatment depends on the underlying cause. It can be as simple as blood in the ear canal causing a conductive hearing loss, or something more complicated, like acoustic trauma causing sensorineural hearing loss. It is also very helpful to know if you have a hole in the eardrum (tympanic membrane perforation), which is another cause of acute hearing loss.

There are many possible causes for a mass in the neck due to the complicated anatomy, which includes structures such as lymph nodes and salivary glands. Most masses are benign, while a few are malignant (cancer). If your physician was able to aspirate fluid, then the fluid will be sent to a cytopathologist, who can usually help us diagnose the cause of the mass. Often, imaging, such as a CT scan, will help us make the diagnosis. Some cases need excisional biopsy, a small surgery to remove a large portion of the mass.
