Tonsillitis is a common problem in adolescents and many people need tonsillectomy surgery. If you have a good understanding of post-surgical care, you will be able to heal faster and restore your health. Preventing bleeding Within 24 hours after the surgery, it is normal to have some exuded blood mixed with spit in the mouth because the wound has not fully grown. If you find a piece of blood spitting out of the mouth from time to time, indicating that there is bleeding in the wound, the easiest way is to apply a cold compress: use ice, ice bags or towels or cloths soaked with ice water or cold water, and apply it to the forehead and both sides of the head and neck. If the blood clots in the mouth vomit incessantly and in increasing quantities, then it is necessary to go to the hospital for further hemostatic treatment. Pain relief For a period of time after tonsil surgery, there will be varying degrees of pain generated. To help relieve the pain, you can contain cold drinks appropriately, or you can use the cold compress method (in the same way as above). Pressing and pinching or needling the Hegu point with the hand can also be useful. It should be said that the pain will gradually reduce and disappear from the day after the operation. It is worth pointing out that pain-relieving drugs should not be used at will. Pay attention to body temperature After surgery, due to the tissue damage during surgery and the absorption of some exudates at the wound, different degrees of fever may occur. The normal situation is that the body temperature will not exceed 38℃, and if the body temperature exceeds 38℃, then appropriate cooling measures should be considered after excluding the possibility of secondary wound infection. Timely gargle After surgery, due to some exudate from the wound, clotted blood and oral residue, there is fishy odor exhaled from the mouth from time to time, especially after the wound infection, bad breath is more serious. Gargling with some mouthwash in time after the surgery is helpful for the cleaning and anti-inflammation of the wound. The wound after tonsil surgery is in the mouth, and due to the pain, patients often refuse to eat or do not eat food, which is detrimental to the recovery of the wound. Generally speaking, within six hours after surgery, patients can eat some cold liquid food, such as milk, soy milk, cream of wheat, nutritious soup, lotus root powder, ice-cream, ice bricks and so on. When the condition stabilizes later, they can eat some semi-liquid food, such as thin rice, rotten noodles, bread, etc. After a week, you can eat soft rice and steamed buns, but avoid eating fish food with fish spines and meat bones to avoid damaging the tonsil wound during chewing and swallowing.
