my son is having his wisdom teeth out. i need some soft food ideas for him for the next 3 days.?

Answer 1

cabbage & onions...

Answer 2

When I had my wisdom teeth out I developed an intense love for rice pudding. Before then, I hated the stuff.

So I would recommend:
-Rice pudding
-Jell-O Pudding and regular Jell-O
-Mashed Potato's
-Other Mashed vegetables like Peas, and Carrots end up tasting pretty good with some butter, and yes, you can mash them.
-Chicken and Beef Broth
-Cream of (fill in the blank) soups, my personal favorite is mushroom, but chicken is pretty good too.
-Tomato Soup
-Hard boiled and/or scrambled eggs
-Cheeses'
-Yogurt
-Ice Cream

I would recommend that you avoid the following:
-Breads and soft grain items. They can clog up any scars in the mouth pretty badly and are a pain to then clean.
-Rice isn't so bad (especially in pudding form) but the tiny grains can get to hard to clean areas of the mouth
-Tuna and other flaky fish

Answer 3

A really cool trick is to look for a squeeze bottle like a mustard container. I bought some great ones at the store made by Rubbermaid. It really hurts to get stuff in open wounds in the mouth and rather hard to remove. So with these containers you can fill them with drinks or soups and they can squirt them to the back of the mouth and swallow. When feeding them you can only at first give nothing warmer than lukewarm to eat. Cold things are wonderful too. You can even use the bottles to help with squirting water gently into the mouth for cleaning. Remember no soda or anything carbonated to drink. Of course with children they do not need to worry about smoking but for adults no smoking as the sucking can cause bleeding andinterfere with clotting. Be careful not dislodge clots in wounds. Do not get large pieces in sores as it can cause infection. Another cool idea is, if you still have baby spoons on hand. A baby spoon is great for them to eat ice cream with as they canturn it upside down and use the tongue to pull off the ice cream and not the sore lips; a regular spoon is rather big. Cream of chicken soup (pick out big pieces is great, as they will not go through the spout) it tastes so good after you haven't had anything for a while. The first day or two be careful of oatmeal, cream of wheat, even applesauce and such. Why? These items havepieces that can go down into the wounds and it is difficult to remove.Wow does it ever hurt to get those pieces in the sores and you cannot swish hard enough to get them out. For my kids believe it or not I made then breakfast with baby food oatmeal. Made it up in the squeeze bottle and even mixed it witha protein drink like ensure or boost. Sounds awful but it tastedgood and they really liked it. Again remember that having to feed them like this is only for about a day or two. I even used the boost in ice cream milk shakes as it gives them vitamins and good nutrition is vital to quick healing. Ifthey object then do not tell them. My daughter didn't know that her milk shakes had this in it. I told her later and she said thatthey were really good and she knew they were more healthier thatway. Don’t forget to have them drink plenty of liquids like water, apple juice. Do not give them tomato or orange juice or lemonade. OUCH! Will burn like crazy. Watch tomato based foods too at first. ICE—ICE—ICE: Very important. Keep the head elevated. This helps with swelling and the ice helps with pain too. If brushing after meals do so very gently. Put ½ tsp salt in 8 oz warm water and have them just hold the salt water in themouth and just let it run out into the sink. NO spitting. Take pain medication 1/2 hour before time because if you keepahead of the pain it will not get overwhelming.
