Post-tonsil surgery precautions: After tonsil surgery, the wound is not sutured and the wound is covered by “white film” (equivalent to the crust of a skin wound), so it is easy to have infection and bleeding, especially when the white film falls off normally about 1 week after surgery and when it is more likely to bleed when it is infected.
1. Pay attention to oral cleaning: if you are afraid to swallow saliva due to pain, the self-cleaning ability of the oropharynx will be reduced, so please drink more warm boiled water and clean your mouth with mouthwash such as Koutai after eating. Encourage swallowing.
2. Eat a liquid or semi-liquid (no residue) diet until the wound heals. Avoid acidic and irritating diet to avoid pain.
3.Prohibit washing behavior such as showering with hot water, washing face and soaking feet to avoid bleeding.
4.Prohibit coughing and throat-clearing. It is recommended to drink warm and cool water to clear the mucus in the throat, and if there is a lot of mucous phlegm, ask the doctor for medication.
5.Avoid strenuous exercise, shouting and other behaviors to avoid bleeding.
6.Prevent respiratory tract infection as much as possible to avoid chronic pharyngitis (lymphatic follicular hyperplasia); 7.If wound pain worsens, fever, etc., promptly consult a doctor except for wound infection, as well as to avoid secondary bleeding.
8.If bleeding occurs at home, do not panic, spit out blood clots in the mouth, ice water in the mouth, ice pack on the neck (note not to contact the skin directly) can reduce bleeding, and go to the hospital for emergency treatment.
9.The postoperative scar may slightly change the voice, which is caused by the pain of the wound and the inactivity of the tongue root when pronouncing, making the speech sound like something. We suggest that you are encouraged to pronounce properly after 24 hours after the operation, pronounce in a normal way and move the tongue body to match the pronunciation, which is also helpful to prevent scar adhesion.
