Doctor's answer:
Post-surgery, it is recommended to take medication under the guidance of the surgeon and to perform daily dressing changes and local cleaning. Antibiotics can be administered intravenously to prevent and treat infections. Generally, the wound will heal within about a week after surgery. However, it is essential to regularly monitor the wound to avoid infection. If there are no major issues, you can change the dressing yourself. Use povidone-iodine for disinfection, keep it dry and clean, and avoid getting it wet. Take oral anti-inflammatory medication. If there is redness, swelling, pain, or significant discharge, you should go to the hospital for professional dressing changes. It is recommended that you administer anti-inflammatory fluids at home for a few days. Avoid spicy foods and keep the wound dry. If there are no problems with the wound, changing the dressing every two or three days is acceptable.
