Top Foods And Drinks To Soothe A Tonsillectomy

Jell-O

Gelatin is typically one of the first things people are given to eat after a tonsillectomy. It is sweet, soft, cool, and soothing on the throat. It can also add to ensuring patients are properly hydrated. It comes in so many different flavors, there should be one to suit every taste. It is easy to make, only requiring a package of crystals, water, and a stovetop to boil the mixture. Once dissolved, Jell-O has to set in the refrigerator.

Flavored Ice

Cold, easy to eat treats like popsicle, Italian ice, and sherbet are ideal foods to introduce right after surgery. The cool sweetness will add comfort during the recovery time and soothe the throat while it remains difficult to eat. Sherbets, gelatos and popsicles can be purchased or homemade options, like flavored ice cubes and ice cream with a frozen banana blended with other fruit, are easy to make as well.
