Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
