Aftercare

Golden rules for healing well

💧

Stay hydrated

Sip water often, especially after throat surgery — it keeps tissues moist and speeds healing.

💊

Take pain relief on time

Regular, scheduled pain relief works far better than waiting until it hurts.

🛌

Rest & elevate

Sleep slightly propped up after nasal or sinus surgery to reduce swelling.

🚭

Avoid smoke & dust

These irritate healing tissue — give your body clean air to recover in.

🏊

Keep ears dry

After ear surgery or grommets, avoid getting water in the ears until cleared.

📞

Call if worried

Heavy bleeding, high fever or severe pain? Contact the rooms straight away.
