Post-Operative Recovery

Post-Surgery Care Instructions

Follow these essential guidelines formulated by Dr. Supreet Prabhu to ensure smooth, rapid, and complication-free healing.

Post-Micro Ear Surgery (Tympanoplasty / Mastoidectomy)

  • Keep Ear Strictly Dry: Place cotton dipped in Vaseline/oil at outer ear when bathing.
  • No Violent Nose Blowing: Never pinch and blow both nostrils; sneeze with your mouth open.
  • Avoid Straining & Heavy Lifting: Avoid lifting >5kg or bending forwards for 3 weeks.
  • No Air Travel or Swimming: Refrain from flying or swimming for 6 weeks until graft heals.

Post-Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS & Septoplasty)

  • Saline Nasal Irrigation: Perform gentle isotonic saline rinses 3–4 times daily to clear crusts.
  • Mild Pinkish Oozing is Normal: Change external mustache dressing as guided; do not panic.
  • Steam Inhalation: 10 minutes twice daily keeps nasal mucous membranes moist.
  • Avoid Hot Spicy Food: Hot steam from spicy food may induce minor capillary bleeding.

Post-Coblation Tonsil & Adenoid Care (Child/Adult)

  • Cold & Soft Diet: Vanilla ice cream, cold milk, puddings, room-temperature soft khichdi for 7 days.
  • Strictly Avoid Hard Crusts: No chips, toast, biscuits, or hot spicy food that can scrape tonsil bed.
  • Ample Hydration: Frequent sips of cold water prevent throat muscle spasm.
  • White Slough is Normal: White healing scab in the throat is natural healing tissue, not pus.
Everyday Preventive ENT Advice

Essential Do's and Don'ts for Healthy Ears, Nose & Throat

Practical self-care rules from Dr. Supreet Prabhu to avoid common ENT emergencies and complications.

✅ Recommended Best Practices

  • Keep Ears Dry During Bathing: If you have a known eardrum perforation or chronic discharge, always use a cotton plug lightly greased with petroleum jelly before showering.
  • Hydrate for Vocal Health: Drink 8–10 glasses of water daily. Hydrated vocal cords vibrate smoothly and are resistant to strain or nodule formation.
  • Use Prescribed Saline Sprays: Regular isotonic saline rinses safely wash out allergens, dust, and thick mucus without causing rebound congestion.
  • Immediate Care for Foreign Bodies: If a child inserts an object into their ear or nose, seek urgent ENT clinic care immediately rather than probing with tweezers.

❌ Actions You Must Strictly Avoid

  • Never Use Cotton Buds / Ear Wax Sticks: Ear canals are self-cleaning. Cotton buds impact wax against the eardrum and are the leading cause of accidental eardrum perforations.
  • Do Not Put Unprescribed Oil or Home Drops: Pouring homemade oils or herbal concoctions into infected ears creates severe fungal infections.
  • Avoid Overusing OTC Decongestant Sprays: Over-the-counter nasal drops (like Xylometazoline) used beyond 5 days cause severe rebound congestion (Rhinitis Medicamentosa).
  • Don't Ignore Persistent Hoarseness: Any hoarseness lasting more than 2 weeks must be examined with video laryngoscopy to detect vocal lesions early.
