Why should u eat things that are cold after a tonsillectomy instead of hot?

Question

everyone is telling me that i should eat ice cream instead of hot things, ive been drinking tea and soup (hot) is that wrong and why?

Answer 1

Should be warm-cold soft foods.  Hot foods will afeect the vessels within the area that was cauterized and might cause bleeding.  Thus hindering the healing process

Answer 2

Its not wrong it just can irritate the area

Answer 3

You actually shouldn't eat either.  Food should be room temperature with the exception of a few popsicles here and there.  Hot foods will open up the wounds.
