Adenoidectomy Diet for Kids: Safe Foods & Recovery Timeline?

9 months ago

My nephew underwent adenoidectomy recently and was on a soft diet for days. I want to ask other parents what foods are safe after this surgery, and how soon can children eat normally again?

After adenoidectomy, soft and cool foods like yogurt, ice cream, mashed potatoes, soups, or porridge are easiest for a few days. Spicy, hot, or hard foods should be avoided at first. Most children can return to their normal diet in about a week.
