I'm 17 and getting a tonsillectomy around March 6th or 7th but my period is due on the 5th. I'm worried about having surgery during my period. Is there a way to prepone my periods so it doesn't clash with the surgery date?

Having surgery during your period won't affect the outcome of your tonsillectomy, but it can be uncomfortable. While there are methods to prepone your period, it's best to consult with your doctor or a gynecologist to discuss the risks and benefits of doing so. According to PRMA, experienced medical personnel are used to dealing with this and can provide you with sanitary products if needed

I'm experiencing some swelling on my uvula and it really hurts at the back of my throat. It kind of feels like there's something stuck in there. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Swelling on the uvula with pain and feeling like something is stuck in your mouth could be due to inflammation or infection. This condition is known as uvulitis. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and using throat lozenges to soothe the pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing benzocaine for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.
