After the formation of pus, patients often experience symptoms such as dysphagia and pain; therefore, their diet should primarily consist of liquid or soft foods. It is recommended to consume mild vegetable juices—such as celery juice—to help clear heat and reduce internal “fire.” Additionally, vegetables rich in vitamin C may help alleviate symptoms. Spicy seasonings—such as chili peppers and mustard—should be avoided, as they may irritate the peritonsillar abscess.
