Is the palate suppose to lower (alot) after a tonsilectomy?


Posted by jackie1888

My son is 6 years old. He had his tonsils and adnoids removed about a month ago. Everything was going well...i thought. then today he said his throat hurt. i looked in his mouth and can not see his throat opening at all. i pushed his tongue down and still could not see it. its like his soft palat fell.? Before i coud see his huge tonsils touching his uvila. and durning the healing week i could see his throats scabs. now all i see is palate. im very concerned. please help us. what could that mean?
