Tonsillectomy is one of the most performed procedures in childhood, which carries with it
certain postoperative problems, such as the pain of the operated area. Sickness greatly
impairs the quality of life in the postoperative period and further reduces food and fluid
intake in children, which in turn causes prolonged recovery after surgery. The impact of
cooling oropharynx in the form of ice cream consumption as a form of cryotherapy could help
reduce the pain, reduce the use of oral analgesic therapy and help in faster recovery after
surgery.
Research goal:
The aim of the study is to determine whether the consumption of ice cream, as a form of
cryotherapy, influences the rate of postoperative recovery after tonsillectomy and the
consumption of oral analgesics in children.
The study was designed as a prospective, randomized, parallel-group, unmasked, and
longitudinal study enroling 100 children undergoing tonsillectomy in a tertiary referral
center. Of those children, 60 will consume the same ice cream (a combination of vanilla and
chocolate as universally acceptable flavors) twice daily, morning and evening, for two weeks
after surgery. 40 children will not consume ice cream during the stated period. Parents will
be given a questionnaire with a validated VAS Wong-Baker FACES scale (Visual - Analogue -
Scale) used by the Zagreb Pediatric Disease Clinic to be completed at home based on
communication with the child and containing information on a visual-analogue subjective pain
experience in children every morning after eating ice cream and the amount of analgesics the
children received during the first two weeks after surgery. There will also be a record of
the days when children began to consume food and drink in the same range and quality as
before surgery.
