What Food Items Can Be Consumed After Tonsils Removal?

Hello, On the 13th of November this year, I ve had my tonsils removed. I talked with my doctor about many things and aspects of the post-op recovery but he didn t specify if I m allowed to drink milk or not, and I forgot to ask him. A nurse said I shouldn t drink. If that is correct, can I eat things like the ones pictured in the attachments (foods that contain milk, including mashed potatoes)? How about cheese and yogurt? Thank you so very much, Dorel

Hi,
After about one to two weeks of operation you can take every thing like milk, solid food etc.
Avoid spicy, fried and junk food for some more time.
Do antiseptic water gargles.
Ok and take care.
