Does recovery from tonsil removal really take up to 14 days?

I'm wondering as my little brother has had a bad infection with his Tonsils, I didn't know it was as bad as it was until he showed me how they bleed and ooze like a pus or mucus.

If he is off work recovering for that long it will be rough, but if he's going to need that long we will just have to make due.

I'm thankful that I'm not sick like that because I imagine he can't be feeling too great with his tonsils being how they are.

He's gone into work tonight and is supposed to tell his employer (Walmart), what is going on and see about getting time off.

    Yes, it takes 14 days off of work to recover. A major complication from a tonsillectomy is bleeding once his scabs fall off. If you don't rest, you increase your chance of bleeding. And we're talking need to go to the ER type of bleeding. He should get a doctor's note for his work.
