I had it in middle school. I had to take my pain medication on time every time (every 4 hours), make sure to drink water to keep my throat from drying out too much (chewing gum was also helpful), and rest. Felt almost entirely better after a week, but after the first 3 days of sleeping, I was able to be up and about to play games or whatever.

I had my tonsils out at like 8 or 9 and I was fine the next day, though I can't speak to adenoids or a deviated septum

Yep, that’s basically the reason they don’t recommend it.
