Post-Thyroid Nodule Surgery Precautions and Diet?

Patient's question:

Because of the thyroid nodule, my neck appears particularly swollen. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and only then found out. Later, the doctor asked me to restrain myself and not eat seafood, but I always can't resist my cravings, so I finally decided on surgery. What are the post-surgery precautions and dietary recommendations for thyroid nodule surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you have just finished surgery, it is recommended to closely monitor the wound to prevent bacterial infections from recurring. You can use povidone-iodine for secondary sterilization. You should also pay attention to your personal hygiene. Your diet should be light, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, as these can all contribute to your body's full recovery. You can engage in appropriate exercise.
