description INTRODUCTION: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by Otolaryngologists world-wide. There are various techniques for tonsillectomy, but none of the techniques has been accepted as the best one universally. Despite the efforts of all the surgeon and use of recent techniques, some post-tonsillectomy morbidity is unavoidable. The main objective of our study is to find out the mean duration for cessation of pain among the patients following tonsillectomy operation in a tertiary care hospital. METHODS: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of 104 patients who underwent tonsillectomy in department of otolaryngology of Kathmandu Medical College from 1(st) August 2020 to 31(st) July 2021. Convenient sampling technique was used. Ethical Approval was taken from Ethical Clearance Committee of hospital (Reference number: 2207202005). Proforma containing visual analog score was given to every patient for scoring the severity of postoperative pain. The scoring of pain was done from 1st postoperative day till 14(th) postoperative day. Descriptive statistical analysis was done. RESULTS: One hundred four patients had undergone tonsillectomy in our hospital. The mean duration for cessation of pain was 10 (9.75+1.97) days with mean duration of analgesia taken of 11 (10.84+2.15) days. The mean duration after tonsillectomy operation for cessation of pain on drinking was 8 (7.51±1.19) days and on eating solids 12 (11.59±2.56) days. Patients reported the first normal night of sleep at seven (6.90+1.41) days and return to normal daily activities 11 (11.18+2.53) days. CONCLUSIONS: From the study concluded that the mean duration for cessation of pain after tonsillectomy is slightly lower than other similar study.
