Post OP Care - Tonsil surgery
🛑 After a tonsillectomy, prioritize rest and hydration. Stick to soft, cold foods initially, like ice cream or applesauce, and gradually reintroduce solid foods as tolerated. Pain management with prescribed medication is crucial, and it's important to avoid strenuous activity for a couple of weeks to prevent complications like bleeding.
🛑 Diet:
🔸First few days:
Focus on soft, cold foods like ice cream, yogurt, popsicles, and applesauce to soothe the throat.
🔸As tolerated:
Gradually introduce soft, bland foods like mashed potatoes, pudding, and soup.
🔸Avoid:
Spicy, acidic, hard, or crunchy foods that may irritate the surgical site.
🔸Hydration:
Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Aim for at least 4-6 eight-ounce glasses of liquid daily.
