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 will help to stop pain and stop bleeding. If there is no bleeding 3 hours after operation, you can start eating liquids, such as soy milk, milk and soup. Be sure to pay attention to the temperature of the food, and it is advisable to be warm or cold. Fruit and juice contain fruit acid, which may cause pain and affect the healing of wounds. It is advisable to eat less or not.

The second period is dietary care 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? The food is semi-liquid, such as porridge, noodles, etc., which should not be hard and fried. Also, pay attention to the temperature of the food. At this time, patients often refuse to eat because of the pain in the knife edge. They should be patiently persuaded to encourage patients to eat more in small quantities. Only by actively eating can the wound heal.

The third period is 7 ~10 days after the operation. At this time, patients are often hungry because of the relief of knife-edge pain and eating semi-liquid food for a week. They often ask to eat some solid food, such as dry rice, bread, etc. Everyone knows that a week after tonsillectomy is a period of secondary bleeding, and improper eating at this time can cause massive bleeding. Therefore, eating at this time should not be taken lightly, and semi-liquid food should be continued for 3 ~ 4 days until the operation.

Because it is necessary to observe whether there is bleeding after operation, people usually fast within four hours after operation, and it is forbidden to swallow. The secretions in the mouth persuade patients to spit out the secretions. If there is no bleeding, you can take a small amount of cold drinks appropriately; After four hours, cold juice can be fed, and after eight hours, half juice can be fed; You will feel pain when you eat just after the operation, and you will feel better when you enter the warm juice.

Pay attention to rest. Don't do heavy physical activity or hold your breath forcibly within 2 weeks to prevent bleeding caused by blood vessel rupture. In addition, after tonsillectomy, some patients often feel some pain, and some patients will be afraid to eat because of this. At this time, family members should encourage patients to eat to speed up the healing process.

Pay attention to oral hygiene. A white membrane can be seen on the wound 1~2 days after operation. Don't worry, it is a fibrin membrane, which is a normal phenomenon. Wash your mouth gently with1:5000 nitrofurazone solution every day to maintain the healthy growth of white membrane and help the wound heal as soon as possible.
