Eggs are an excellent source of protein and are usually well tolerated. You can eat soy products for a non-meat selection. Meats or protein sources that you should limit while on a soft diet are those with higher fat or those that have a lot of added seasonings, as well as difficult-to-chew foods.
Anesthetic: A substance that causes lack of feeling or awareness, dulling pain to permit surgery and other painful procedures.
A local anesthetic (LA) is a medication that causes reversible absence of pain sensation, although other senses are often affected, as well. Also, when it is used on specific nerve pathways (local anesthetic nerve block), paralysis (loss of muscle power) also can be achieved. Clinical LAs belong to one of two classes: aminoamide and aminoester local anesthetics. Synthetic LAs are structurally related to cocaine.
