After tonsillectomy operation , I feel something at the back Posted: 08-29-07 09:20am
I saw the ENT that did my surgery but he
said he saw nothing there. He gave me
Nexium to take. I looked up what Nexium
is prescribed for and I do not have
heartburn or acid reflux.
Do you have any idea what this can be ??
I really feel that this is a result of
surgery. What do you recommend I do??

You wrote:"Current medical status: I had a
tonsillectomy operation on July 16, 2007
Current medical treatment: Since the 1st
day of surgery, I can feel something at
the back of my throat or tongue"
If you feel that there is something in
your throat after the tonsillectomy
operation, you can ask for a second
opinion from another ENT-specialist. If
the result is the same (nothing found),
perhaps you are experiencing some type of
anxiety disorder that triggers a
psycho-somatic sensation.
