What should I pay attention to in my diet after tonsil surgery?

Disease is a very common situation in people's lives. People may suffer from diseases due to many factors around them. Some diseases require surgery to be treated. Tonsillitis surgery is a very common disease. Many people do not know how to arrange their diet after the patient has undergone this surgery, because unreasonable arrangements may cause harm to themselves. So, what should you pay attention to in your diet after tonsil surgery?

First, what should be paid attention to in diet after tonsil surgery? Generally speaking, patients can eat some cold liquid food within six hours after surgery, such as milk, soy milk, malted milk, nutritious soup, lotus root powder, ice cream, ice bricks, etc. When the condition stabilizes, you can eat some semi-liquid food, such as porridge, soft noodles, bread, etc. After a week, you can eat soft rice and steamed bread, but avoid eating fish and meat products with fish bones or meat bones, so as not to damage the tonsil wounds and cause bleeding during chewing and swallowing. After tonsil surgery, there are two benefits for patients to eat some cold food in moderation. One is to help patients relieve temporary pain, and the other is to have a short-term bleeding effect. However, this can only provide short-term relief for the discomfort at the surgical site and cannot accelerate wound healing. In addition, if the patient has poor gastrointestinal function, it is recommended to eat cold food with caution to avoid inducing digestive tract diseases due to gastrointestinal discomfort.

Second, patients can eat cold drinks, such as ice milk, pure ice cream without impurities, etc. 6 hours after general anesthesia. Holding it in the mouth and then swallowing it slowly can help relieve pain and stop bleeding. If there is no bleeding after 3 hours, patients can start eating cold liquids, such as soy milk, soup, etc. Be sure to pay attention to the temperature of food and eat it cold. Fruits and fruit juices contain fruit acids, which may irritate wounds and cause pain and affect wound healing. It is best to eat less or not eat them.

What should you pay attention to in your diet after tonsil surgery? Starting from the second day after the operation, you should pay attention to the "three mores": talk more (avoid shouting), rinse your mouth more, and eat more. The food should be cold and semi-liquid, such as porridge, noodles, etc. It should not be hard. It is not advisable to eat fried food. Rinse your mouth after each meal. You should eat small meals frequently. Only by actively eating can you promote wound healing. 7 to 10 days after the operation, the patient often feels extremely hungry because the pain from the incision has eased and he is extremely hungry after eating semi-liquid food for a week. He often asks for some solid food, such as dry rice, bread, etc. However, the patient does not know that one week after tonsillectomy is a period of secondary bleeding. Improper eating at this time may cause heavy bleeding. Therefore, eating at this time must not be taken lightly and the patient should continue the semi-liquid diet for 3 to 4 days until the white film of the surgical wound has completely fallen off before eating normally. Generally speaking, the white membrane falls off 10 days to half a month after surgery.
