My son had tonsillectomy yesterday. I'm giving to him a lot of water and juice to drink. When can he start to eat soft foods after tonsillectomy? I know that I can make for him some soft food like milkshakes, pudding and pasta. But I can't think of anything else that he can eat. Please, give me some idea! Thank you!

Hi! He needs to drink a lot of fluid. Continue to give him water and some cold and sweet drinks. You can make pancakes with lots of butter and syrup mashed up or even spaghettis. Just avoid hard foods, crunchy foods, and spicy foods. Soon he will be ready to eat ice cream. I'm sure that he will be satisfied with it.
