About this trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of tonsillectomy diet education on postoperative bleeding and pain in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Seventy-six pediatric patients will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which will receive specific diet education prior to surgery, or a control group receiving standard care. Bleeding and pain will be assessed at 4, 8, and 24 hours, and on the 7th day after surgery using a specialized follow-up form and the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. The study hypothesizes that diet education will reduce postoperative bleeding and pain, improving recovery and quality of life in children.
