If you eat badly, you may need a second operation. What can I eat after tonsillectomy?

After tonsillectomy, the diet should be light, nutritious and digestible, so as to avoid eating too greasy or too hard. At the same time, after operation, we should cooperate with antibiotics and hemostatic drugs, eat more fruits and vegetables, and use mouthwash to reduce the infection in the mouth after eating. Observe whether there is bleeding in the wound, let the patient spit out secretions in the mouth, and observe whether there is new blood in the saliva. Close observation for 4 ~ 6 hours. If the wound shows no signs of bleeding, you can start eating a cold liquid diet. Generally, it is changed to semi-liquid or soft food the next day.

Within 24 hours after tonsil surgery, you can eat cold food such as ice cream properly to reduce bleeding, and you can also apply cold compress therapy to the throat. Cold food or semi-liquid food is needed within one week after tonsillectomy. You can eat some soft foods such as noodles, porridge, porridge and egg soup, and try not to eat hot and hard food.

If it is superficial surgery, dressing can be changed, and the throat is a special position, and food residues may stay in the tonsil fossa for too long, which may easily lead to infection. This requires us to gargle frequently after meals, keep local cleanliness and prevent infection. Try to avoid drinking soda or beer for a period of time after surgery, because the wound will form scars after tonsillectomy, which may lead to suffocation, and at the same time pay attention to avoid strenuous exercise.

Two to three days after surgery, you can eat some warm porridge, cooked fruit and other foods that do not need to be chewed vigorously; About a month after operation, you can eat some pasta, such as steamed bread and noodles. Eat something light, not irritating or catching a cold.
