What is post-operative care required after an adenoidectomy?
Once you are discharged from the hospital after adenoidectomy surgery, you should follow the given at-home care tips to improve recovery:
- Do not perform any strenuous activities, including gym, swimming, running, etc., for at least one week after the surgery.
- Eat only a bland/soft or liquid diet till it becomes easier to swallow. You should also avoid eating fried, spicy, or crunchy foods as they may exacerbate the incision while swallowing.
- If you have a fever, then you should take mild fever-reducing medications, such as acetaminophen, paracetamol, etc.
You should visit your ENT specialist for a follow-up consultation 3-4 weeks after the surgery to make sure you are healing appropriately.
What are the complications associated with adenoidectomy?
Severe complications after adenoidectomy surgery are very rare, i.e., only about 2% of patients. Generally, mild complications such as fever, nausea, vomiting, etc., may occur for a few days and can be easily resolved through over-the-counter medications. The most common postoperative complications of adenoidectomy are:
- Failure to resolve ear or sinus infections
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Nasal regurgitation
- Permanent alteration of the voice
- Infection
- Failure to remove an airway obstruction
- Nausea and vomiting
- Recurrence of the condition due to regrowth of the adenoids
- Nasopharyngeal stenosis
- Halitosis
Connect with your doctor immediately if any of these complications is not managed through medicines or last for over a week.
