Actually while it is good to drink plenty of fluids,,, you will find that it is MUCH more soothing to the throat to be drinking carbonated drinks after having tonsils out. Quess you found out the ice cream thing is a lie. They always tell you that you can have ice cream, but the truth is...It is too painful to eat much of it. Most people seem to find that drinking carbonated drinks feels so so much better. I had my tonsils out at age 17, when I woke up and was thirsty...the stupid nurse brought me ORANGE JUICE!!! Can you imagine how painful that was? I nearly choked to death...The acid from the orange burned horrible...but pepsi felt wonderful...
