There are several ways to help alleviate these symptoms and promote a more comfortable recovery. Your surgeon will likely prescribe pain medication to help manage any discomfort. It is important to take the medication as directed and report any excessive or persistent pain to your surgeon. Applying cold compresses to the treated area can help reduce swelling and provide relief. Maintaining a proper head elevation while sleeping and resting can also aid in reducing swelling and discomfort. Following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, such as avoiding strenuous activities and consuming a soft or liquid diet, will help minimize discomfort and facilitate healing. Finally, keeping open lines of communication with your surgeon and scheduling follow-up appointments will ensure that your recovery progresses smoothly.
