I am having difficulty finding the appropriate ICD-10 code for post tonsillectomy hemorrhage.

Thank you!
 
post tonsillectomy hemorrhage

Since tonsillitis is coded to the respiratory system I would choose J95.830, post procedure hemorrhage of a respiratory organ after a respiratory procedure.
 
I know this is late, but...since Tonsilectomy is in the Digestive System section in the CPT book I agree with K91.840-postprocedrual hemorrhage of a digestive system organ or structure following a digestive system procedure.
