Its not that uncommon after tonsillectomy actually, I agree unlikely to recur and should be ok. Did they check her blood counts to know how much she had bled?
6 year old re-cauterized day 5 post tonsillectomyMy 6 year old had her tonsils and adenoids taken out on April 6th, she was what I thought, healing well. In good spirits, never complaining of anything more than  a little pain . Popsicles nonstop, ice cream too. Tuesday night, after a full 5 days post operation, she wakes up and starts vomiting blood. We panic, call 911, go the nearest pediatric hospital. They tell us well have to recauterize. Cue second round of fear for the night. I couldnt imagine putting her through anesthesia again in less than a week. Thankfully it went well, and the left side had active bleeding in one spot which they cauterized and the right side had some tiny vessels that the doctor recauterized too. They kept her for another 8 hours for observation and she was doing well. I guess now were all so traumatized, including her, that it could happen again. She hates the taste of Tylenol but pediatrician warned about Motrin possibly triggering the bleeding. Of course, she prefers Motrin. Im writing this terrified of it recurring and praying it wont.Im so terrified of her hemorrhaging again and I dont know how to calm myself. I was told it would be rare to happen again but it was rare to even happen the first time. Were officially 7 days post initial procedure and Im wondering at how many days post op can i be confident that shes healed?Any possible words of encouragement or advice would be so very appreciated.
