You should’ve been given a post operative instructions for patients sheet at discharge?
Lists what meds and for how long. If you didn’t get one call your nurse. General rule of thumb is Antibiotics for 7 days, painkillers 5-7 days up to 4 times in 24 hours, if you had unders you will have Robaxin too, take these 4x a day for 5 days only.
No medicine from your own home cupboard. Only Arnica can be taken on top. No full showers or baths for 14 days.
Only baby wipe clean top half, do not use a flannel/towel for 14 days on your top half, they are crawling with bacteria (yes even clean ones) this is how most girls end up getting infections once given the ok to shower the area as the nurse should say use a hair drier on incisions not your usual bath towel.
