What to eat should i use when getting tonsils removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soft foods: I will tell you how i treat post tonsillectomy patients with food after surgery. Please understand that you will have severe throat pain for about 10 days. Start with popsicles for 2 days, follow this with milkshakes for about 3 days. Custards, pudding, jello are good. Gatorade for sugar and electrolytes. You can eat anything as long as it is cut into very small pieces because it will hurt.
