It usually takes about three to six months for the swallowing tugging sensation to resolve after thyroid surgery. Swallowing tugging after thyroid surgery may be due to surgical damage to the surrounding tissues, and the time it takes to recover from this symptom is usually related to post-operative care and the patient’s individual physical condition. With proper post-operative care and good health, this symptom usually goes away in about three months. In contrast, it may take about six months to recover. Patients should be well cared for after the surgery, and within 48 hours after the surgery is performed, the neck needs to be pressurized to prevent the oozing of body fluids from the wound from flowing into the blood vessels. After the surgery, you should eat fluids and avoid stimulating and spicy food. Pay attention to local hygiene to avoid infection and inflammation.
