Im getting my tonsils out tomorrow by laser. I only have one tonsil that is swollen big and if i dont take my antibiotics for two three days it swells up alot. There is no white crap or anything around them just big. Is it still going to hurt alot? And if so what am I going to expect. Im a relatively healthy 20 year old male. Please let me know what you guys think

I'm sorry, I'm not a doc or a nurse, but I just want to let you know that although it is normal to be a little nervous in these situations, you don't really need to worry so much.
You will feel some discomfort after surgery, but not any more than a really sore throat has given you. It won't last more than a couple days. Enjoy some frozen fruit icees, and healthy popsicles or italian ices.
It is good that you tonsils will be gone, you are going to be much, much healthier.
Good Luck, and try to calm yourself a little, it really is gonna be okay!! ;-))

no, it won't hurt a lot, there will be some discomfort and you will need to ice your neck and eat a lot of Popsicles for a day or two, but that's about it.
