Top Foods And Drinks To Soothe A Tonsillectomy

Applesauce

Applesauce and other soft fruits add nutrients, like vitamins A and C, as well as fiber, folic acid, calcium, and potassium. To soften fruit like apples, pears, and rhubarb, they can be stewed on the stovetop or baked in the oven. Alternately, they can be pureed or blended in a smoothie. They are naturally sweet but agave syrup or honey can be added to apple or pear sauce for a sweeter flavor.

Soup

Soup is a healthy liquid to consume following a tonsillectomy. Not only will a cold or warm soup not cause irritation to the throat, but it will also coat the lining of the stomach to prevent nausea. Soup is a good follow-up to lighter liquids like water and clear fluids, and once tolerated, a patient will be able to add heavier creamed soups and soft cereal. Mild soups, rather than acidic tomato-based ones, are recommended.
