After tonsillectomy, it is permissible to consume small amounts of chicken or fish soup. These soups are rich in high-quality protein, and moderate intake will not interfere with normal recovery. However, portion control is important—avoid consuming excessive amounts. Additionally, maintain a healthy diet in daily life: limit spicy, irritating, and greasy foods to prevent hindering recovery. Schedule regular follow-up visits to the hospital to monitor your recovery progress.
