Tonsillar surgery is a common operation in otolaryngology, and its main complication is postoperative bleeding. Tonsils are located in the throat, which is the only way to eat, so dietary care after tonsil surgery is the key.
Dietary care after tonsillectomy can be divided into three periods. The first period is dietary care within 24 hours after operation. Half an hour after operation, patients can eat cold drinks, such as iced milk and pure ice cream without impurities, and then swallow them slowly after taking them, which is helpful to relieve pain and stop bleeding. If there is no bleeding 3 hours after operation, you can start eating liquids, such as soybean milk, milk and soup. Be sure to pay attention to the temperature of food, warm or cold is appropriate. Fruit and juice contain fruit acid, which may cause pain and affect wound healing. It is advisable to eat less or not.
The second stage is diet nursing within 24 hours after operation to 1 week. Pay attention to "Sanduo" the day after operation? Talk more, rinse your mouth more and eat more? Food is semi-liquid, such as porridge and noodles. It shouldn't be hard and fried. Also, pay attention to the temperature of food. At this time, patients often refuse to eat because of the pain in the incision. They should be patiently persuaded to encourage patients to eat more and less. Only by eating actively can the wound heal.
The third stage was 7 ~ 10 days after operation. At this time, patients are often hungry after eating semi-liquid food for a week because of the relief of knife-edge pain. They often ask for some solid food, such as dry rice and bread. Everyone knows that one week after tonsillectomy is the period of secondary bleeding, and improper eating at this time will lead to massive bleeding. Therefore, eating at this time should not be taken lightly. Continue to eat semi-liquid food for 3 ~ 4 days until the wound is treated.
Because it is necessary to observe whether there is bleeding after operation, people usually fast within four hours after operation and do not swallow. Secretions in the mouth persuade patients to spit them out. If there is no bleeding, you can take a small amount of cold drinks appropriately; You can feed cold juice after four hours and half juice after eight hours; It hurts to eat just after surgery, and it will feel better to enter warm juice.
