Assigned Interventions (diet training): Pain and bleeding will be evaluated at 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours and 7 days after adenotonsillectomy by using "Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale" and "Follow-up and Evaluation Form for Children After Adenotonsillectomy in Children".
Study summary
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.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Follow-up and Evaluation Form for Children After Adenotonsillectomy — 4th hour after surgery 1st assessment, 8th hour after surgery 2nd assessment, 24th hour after surgery 3rd assessment, 7th day after surgery 4th assessment. The first 3 assessments will be duri The time and number of evaluations; 4th hour after surgery will be considered as 1st evaluation, 8th hour after surgery as 2nd evaluation, 24th hour after surgery as 3rd evaluation, 7th day after surgery as 4th evaluation. The first 3 evaluations will be during hospitalization. The next 7th day evaluation will be evaluated on the 7th day when the child and caregiver are discharged and come for follow-up.
