What to expect after surgery for enlarged adenoids

After surgery for adenoid hypertrophy, you need to pay attention to monitoring the surgical incision, preventing infection, observing the patient’s recovery after surgery, paying attention to dietary aspects, and regular review. 1. Prevent infection: After surgery, you need to follow the doctor’s instructions to take antibiotics for 3-7 days to prevent infection. 2. Observe the recovery of patients after surgery: some children will have open mouth breathing and snoring worse than before surgery, which is due to the temporary edema of the nasal cavity and soft palate stimulated during the surgery, and if there is no infection, it will be gradually relieved in 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery. 3. Pay attention to diet: after adenoid hypertrophy surgery, you need to eat a light diet first, and you can’t eat food with too high acidity, so as not to increase secretion and affect wound healing. Normally, you also need to drink more water and maintain oral hygiene. 4. Regular review: you need to go to the hospital two weeks after the surgery to review the surgical recovery, and two months later, you need to repeat the examination again. If there is any abnormality after adenoid hypertrophy surgery, you need to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying your condition.
