Soft Diet

• Encourage favorite fluids to prevent dehydration.
• Cold drinks, milkshakes, popsicles, slushes, and sherbet are good choices.
• Avoid citrus, salty, or spicy foods.
• For infants, give fluids by cup, spoon or syringe rather than a bottle. (Reason: The nipple can cause pain.)
• Solid food intake is not important.
