ABSTRACT
Following TCRF tonsil reduction, diet and activity are as tolerated without any specific restrictions. For most adults and teenagers, a soft diet can be tolerated as soon as the local anesthetic resolves, and normal activity is resumed within 1-2 days (4). For children operated under a general anesthetic, all have been able to take liquids fairly well in recovery room, and have been able to achieve sustainable oral hydration within the first 24 hr. Most eat soft solids within 6 hr of the procedure. In the pediatric case series study group, 80% of the children resumed their regular diet by day 5 and all were back to normal activity by 3.9 2.1 days (5).
