Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frequent swallowing without food or fluids, noticing bright red blood in the child's mouth, and refusal to take pain pills because it hurts to swallow are all signs of potential complications after a tonsillectomy. Frequent swallowing may indicate bleeding, bright red blood is a clear sign of active bleeding, and pain or difficulty swallowing could indicate infection or other postoperative issues.
