Things to note in postoperative care for thyroid tumors

Thyroid tumor is a serious disease. If it is not treated, it will lead to cancer. Therefore, many patients will choose surgery for treatment. However, it is not enough to just treat it. We also need to provide good postoperative care.

Postoperative Care

1. The patient's physical condition is relatively poor, so he needs to increase nutrition, such as eating more mushrooms, black fungus and yam, and at the same time, he can also add some supplements for supplementation.

2. Patients who have undergone surgery need to eat mainly liquid food, because the wound has not yet fully recovered. Hard food will cause esophageal obstruction and cause damage. Therefore, it is recommended to wait until the neck wound has improved before considering it.

3. Wipe the affected area with alcohol every day to prevent bacterial infection. Also, change the gauze frequently and pay attention to postoperative cleaning.

4. Relax yourself. A good mood can help the condition recover quickly. Therefore, patients should not worry or be depressed all day long. They should believe that they can fully recover after actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment.

5. Remember to take your medicine on time. Don’t stop taking it just because your condition has improved. This will cause your condition to relapse. It is best to seek your doctor’s advice.

Postoperative work for thyroid tumors must be done well, because postoperative care is an effective measure to help recovery from treatment, so we need to pay more attention to it.
