It is better to eat some liquid food, such as soy milk, milk, fruit juice, etc. for a short period of time after tonsil surgery to avoid irritation of the incision in the pharynx, which will help the recovery after surgery.
The incision of tonsillectomy is located in the pharynx, and a white membrane will form on the surface of the operated area after the operation. Therefore, it is necessary to eat warm and cool liquid food after the operation to avoid causing damage to the operation area and thus causing bleeding in the operation area.
Recommended foods after surgery are milk, soy milk, soup and other foods without solid components. Soft foods such as noodles and porridge can be eaten one week after surgery, and normal diet can be taken after two weeks after surgery.
After the operation, you should insist on brushing teeth and rinsing mouth to maintain oral hygiene so as not to cause secondary infection, and you should go to the hospital one week after the operation to recheck the recovery of the pharynx. If there is bleeding in the pharynx, please consult a doctor promptly.
Diet and care after tonsil surgery should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions.
