Answer:2
Rationale: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is recommended for pain after a tonsillectomy.Citrus juices should be avoided for the first week,because highly acidic foods and beverages can cause irritation.Ear pain four to eight days after a tonsillectomy may be experienced and does not indicate an ear infection. Children do not need to be confined to bed. They can return to school in ten days.
