You can brush your teeth normally about a week after tonsil surgery, and before that you can use light salt water or antibacterial mouthwash to maintain oral hygiene.
Tonsil surgery is suitable for pediatric snoring, recurrent chronic tonsillitis, and those with a history of peri-tonsil abscess. Water fasting is required for 6 hours after surgery, after which warm and cool fluids can be consumed.
Since postoperative pain affects the patient’s ability to open his mouth and brushing teeth may irritate the incision, it is recommended to start brushing teeth one week after the operation, during which time you can use light salt water or mouthwash to maintain oral hygiene.
Meanwhile, after the operation, pay attention to observe whether the patient has fever, whether there is bleeding in the pharynx, etc. If there is any abnormality, consult the doctor in time. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to rest, avoid physical labor, to prevent affecting the healing of the incision.
