You can eat normally on the 2nd day after vocal cord surgery. If the vocal cord surgery has not caused any side damage to the mucous membrane of the throat outside the operation area, normal eating can be resumed on the 2nd day after the surgery. However, light and soft food should be taken as the main focus, avoiding spicy and stimulating food, such as chili, raw garlic, raw onion, keeping away from tobacco and alcohol, etc. Do not exert yourself during the recovery period, and pay attention to rest. After vocal cord surgery, if there is side damage to the mucous membrane of the throat outside the surgical area, normal eating will be delayed, and it may take 5~10 days or longer to take warm and cool fluids and semi-fluids as the mainstay, and normal eating can only be resumed after the damage to the mucous membrane of the throat is repaired. If you have throat discomfort after vocal cord surgery, you need to actively reflect with the medical staff, systematic examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
