Generally speaking, patients can eat some cold liquid foods within six hours after operation, such as milk, soybean milk, malt extract, nutritious soup, lotus root powder, ice cream, frozen bricks and so on. After the illness is stable, you can eat some semi-liquid food, such as porridge, rotten noodles, bread and so on. After a week, you can eat soft rice and steamed bread, but don't eat fish food with fishbones and bones, so as not to damage the tonsil wound and cause bleeding when chewing and swallowing.

After tonsillectomy, there are two advantages for patients to eat some cold food in moderation. One is to help patients relieve temporary pain, and the other is to stop bleeding in a short time. However, this can only relieve the discomfort of the surgical site for a short time, and can not accelerate the wound healing. In addition, if the patient's gastrointestinal function is not good, it is recommended to eat raw and cold food carefully to avoid gastrointestinal diseases caused by gastrointestinal discomfort.

What to eat after tonsillectomy? Dietary care after tonsil surgery can be divided into three periods, which are introduced below.

1, 6 hours after general anesthesia, patients can be given cold drinks, such as iced milk and pure ice cream without impurities. After taking it, slowly swallow it to help relieve pain and stop bleeding; If there is no bleeding after 3 hours, you can start eating cold liquids, such as soybean milk and soup. Be sure to pay attention to the temperature of food, and it is appropriate to eat raw and cold food. Fruit and juice contain fruit acid, which may cause pain and affect wound healing. It is advisable to eat less or not.

2. Pay attention to the "three essentials" on the second day after operation: talk more (avoid shouting), rinse your mouth more and eat more. Food is cold and semi-liquid, such as porridge, noodles, etc., and it is not suitable for hard frying. Rinse your mouth after every meal. You should eat more in small quantities, and only active eating can promote wound healing.

3. 7 ~ 10 days after operation. At this time, the patient was often hungry due to the pain of the knife edge and had been eating semi-liquid food for a week. They often ask for some solid food, such as dry rice and bread. Who knows that one week after tonsillectomy is the period of secondary bleeding, and improper eating at this time will cause massive bleeding, so eating at this time must not be taken lightly, and we should continue to eat semi-liquid food for 3 ~ 4 days until the wound turns white. Generally speaking, the white membrane falls off from 10 day to half a month after operation.

Warmly remind that it is forbidden to eat spicy, hard food or irritating food after tonsillectomy, such as pepper, beverage, cold salad, barbecue, acidic juice, spicy hot pot and so on. , so as not to stimulate the wound, aggravate bleeding and pain, and affect wound healing.
