Clinical Trial Summary

This research is being done because it is not known which dietary recommendations are best to help patients recover after a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. The purpose of this study is to determine how diet after tonsil/adenoid surgery affects bleeding, pain, and oral intake.


Clinical Trial Description

Currently it is not known which dietary recommendations are best to help patients recover after a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. Traditional standard of care is to recommend that patients be restricted to a soft diet post-operatively. However, the investigators believe that there may be benefit in allowing patients to eat a restriction-free diet. In this study, the investigators will compare the current standard of care verse a non-restricted diet. The purpose of this study is to determine how diet after tonsil/adenoid surgery affects bleeding, pain, and oral intake. ;
