Serve her slippery foods without a lot of salt. Jello, yogurt, pudding, ice cream popsicles, if you are worried about nutrition, get some Carnation instant breakfast, you can mix it with milk or even ice cream if that works better. Try getting her to eat about twenty minutes after giving her pain meds. also pay attention to whether or not she is having a hard time having a BM because pain meds and cause constipation.

Ice cream and Popsicles are about the only thing you can.. maybe jello and pudding. Once the throat heals she will be fine again. Don't push the food until she is ready.. one day she will ask for a hot dog or a hamburger or fries.. that usually tempts kids once they are feeling better.Health Question & Answer
