Talk to Doc: The more they drink,the sooner the pain will subside. Water, apple juice, grape juice, Gatorade.Soft foods such as ice cream, sherbet, yogurt, pudding, apple sauce and jello.Avoid hot or spicy foods, or foods that are hard and crunchy. Often, chewing gum speeds comfortable eating by reducing the spasm.Pain controlled with Tylenol.Ice collar-Make by placing ice cubes and water in a large Zip-Lock
