What should be noted after vocal polyp surgery?
Disease description:
I am a teacher, and perhaps due to the nature of my profession, I've recently been experiencing a burning pain in my throat, making it difficult to swallow even water or food. After going to the hospital for imaging tests, I was diagnosed with vocal cord polyps. The doctor recommended surgery as treatment. What should I pay attention to after vocal cord polyp surgery?

Dr. Xu Gang
After surgery for vocal cord polyps, follow the doctor's instructions and advice: avoid speaking for approximately two weeks, continue antibiotic treatment for one week, and ensure adequate rest. The diet should be light after surgery. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to ensure sufficient nutrition, and drink plenty of water.
