i had my tonsils removed and i slept all day yesterday and when i wasn’t sleeping i was eating ice cream and peanut butter. Today i have been very dizzy all day and unable to stand (my Mom has been having to wait after me all day). is this bc of some kind of lack of vitamin? i have only been able to eat soft food like the following...
-Chicken noodle soup --with out the chicken =(-Peanut butter-Ice cream-Apple sauce-And Vanilla pudding
is there any thing else i could be eating?
i have been getting the hiccups a lot and bc my throat is so sore none of the old tricks work to get rid of them and it hurts me so bad when i get them. what can i do to keep them from coming? Any other tricks besides holding your breath and sipping water?
Oh BTW I have been taking lortab for pain (it is so nasty!) and an antibiotic to keep from getting any kind of infection. And have also been drinking as much water as i possibly can. What else can i do? I am 16 incase this has something to do with it thanx

You have just had a throat operation. It's understandable to be tired and slouchy. With the anazthesia finally wearing off, your brain is adjusting. For the hiccups, a good way is to put a bunch of sugar in water. If it doesn't work the first time, do it again, up to three times. The same thing happened to my sisterwhen she had her tonsils removed. Good luck!

your dizziness could also be from diabetes? or from not having enough sugar in your body.......... you can also have popcycles btw. you could have any sort of broth, and if you can eat chicken noodle without the chicken, you could probably eat mr noodles if you like them, or any other types of soups........ although i am not a doctor so i am not 100 % sure. peanut butter is the only trick i know for hiccups unless you want to try gripe water that they use for babies with hiccups.
hope i was some help. Get well soon

Hi!! I think that you are taking to much medicine. Also, if you just had your tonsils out, you should be resting all day long for at least a week. You should not be walking around unless you have to go to the bathroom or something. DUH! Your throat is soar because they were just operating on it!!! I think that your dizziness would go away if you just rested more. Also, when I had mine out, I drank a lot of slushies and ate a lot of go-gurts. The go-gurts (or yogurts, they are basically the same thing) really help your throat. You should also try drinking Capri Suns. They helped me a lot!! I can't think of anything else that you could eat\drink right now. Get Well Soon!!! : )

I don't think you would be dizzy from lack of vitamins within a few days of just eating soft foods. I think it's a combination of the trauma (the operation) and the medicine. It's probably perfectly normal considering the circumstances. If you are really scared, you may want to call your doctor.
Good luck, and I hope you feel better.

the lortab for pain is why you are feeling dizzy, you are taking too much.
drinking alot of ice water slowly will help most with the pain in your throat and probably with the hiccups too.

Ok, that is wat will get me pissed off.. You KNOW that hes a nasty man. You KNOW that he is touching your pal in improper approaches. You KNOW that he and his possy had been disrespecting you. Why do you prefer him? Why do women fall for jerks? Why do not you appear for a man that suggests a few admire!? And to reply your query.. Yes he does such as you..however he additionally likes your pal. He likes you each for the improper motives. He's seeking to get fortunate with either one of you and mabe even hook you men up together with his peers. He sees you as an item and can go away you harm after he is performed with you. You and Arielle must each keep peers and forget about Dustin wholly. You two cannot battle for anyone like him. He's no longer even valued at it. Both of you must discover a man who will admire you and may not hit on either one of you. I do not imply to be imply to you however you're performing very silly..
