Yes: If spicy ramen noodles is part of your normal diet, you can eat them following your surgery. If your mouth is still numb, you will need to make sure that the noodles and liquid they are cooked in are not too hot, as you could experience a burn to the mouth and not feel it until the local anesthetic wears off.

After dental work: If you are numb you should usually wait until the numbness is gone or you feel like you have control enough to eat without including a piece of your cheek or lip in with your meal. Keep hydrated.
