After tonsillectomy, the time for complete recovery is about half a month. Because the surgery of tonsils is usually a general anesthesia surgery, there is a 24-hour anesthesia recovery awake period after the general anesthesia surgery. During this time, patients cannot eat any food to avoid choking and accidental aspiration after eating and drinking, which may lead to infection in the lungs, and also easily cause congestion in the tonsil surgery area. One day after the operation, patients can eat cold liquid food, such as milk, rice porridge, rice soup, etc. After three days, when the white membrane of the operated area of the tonsils is gradually covered, patients can eat soft foods, such as bread, steamed buns, cakes, bananas, etc. When the white membrane is completely covered after seven days and the patient has no fever and no local bleeding, he can be discharged from the hospital. However, one should not eat too hard food yet to avoid scratching the operated area. When the white film in the operated area is completely removed after half a month, it is basically considered to be back to normal.
