What are the postoperative precautions for adenoid surgery?

Patient's question:

The child has adenoid hypertrophy, and the hospital has confirmed the diagnosis. We want to undergo adenoid surgery and would like to ask about the post-adenoid surgery precautions?

Doctor's answer:

After the surgery for adenoid hypertrophy, the following precautions should be taken: Dietary guidance should be cautious. Semi-liquid diet can be consumed 1-2 days after surgery, and soft food can be eaten after about a week. It is recommended to eat more vegetables, fruits, etc. Psychological care is also essential. Local pain and nasal pharyngeal bleeding, or blood-tinged sputum are common after surgery, but there is no need to be overly anxious. Local care must be meticulous. Avoid severe coughing and sneezing.
