Cold foods- like popsicles, icecream. Can try lukewarm soup, pudding, yogurt.
Dr. Bin S. Sung

Any soft diet or liquid diet like yogurt, pudding, ice cream, water, juice etc. unless with significant swallowing problem, then should get check by the doctor.
Soft non acidic (citrus) warm not hot foods and ensure plenty of fluids.
Would concentrate on hydration. Then soft, non-acidic
Things that are soft are more easily swallowed. Also cold things like pudding can soothe the throat. Also give plenty of fluids.
