What should I pay attention to after ear stitches are removed?
1, postoperative medication

Take the medicine according to the doctor's advice after operation. Don't increase or decrease the dosage at will, and don't follow the advice of others to add other drugs at will to avoid unnecessary consequences.

At the same time, if there is an adverse drug reaction, you should contact your doctor in time, and never stop taking the drug or reduce the dose yourself.

Step 2 clean the wound

After the stitches are removed, there may be slight pain or discomfort in the part where the ear is located, but this is normal. During the process of wound healing, the skin around the wound should be kept dry to avoid sweating and dampness.

The wound should be cleaned regularly, using normal saline or drugs prescribed by doctors to avoid manual rubbing and scratching, and keep the environment around the ears dry and clean.

3. Diet adjustment

It is best to avoid spicy and irritating food after stitches are removed, and eat more foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables and fruits, which will help promote wound healing and improve the body's immunity.

In addition, when removing stitches, you should avoid touching your ears and blowing your nose hard to avoid affecting your recovery.

Step 4 pay attention to observation

Within 7- 10 days after suture removal, observe whether the wound is swollen, red and swollen, suppurative, etc. If there is any abnormal situation, you need to seek medical advice in time.

At the same time, don't touch the wound by swimming, showering, etc., and don't let the ear suffer too much damage, so as not to have a greater impact on the ear.
