Doctors Backous, Anstead and Clinkscales are now seeing patients in the Seattle area at 515 Minor Ave, Suite 140, Seattle, WA 98104.

SORE THROAT: Mild to moderate sore throat. You may gargle with warm salt water (1/4 tsp of salt in 8 oz warm water). Chloraceptic or other anesthetic spray or lozenges may be used. Tylenol may be taken as needed for discomfort. In some cases, prescription pain medication may be given.

 

BODY ACHES: You may experience sore muscles throughout your body. This is from tightening of the muscles during the anesthesia process. This will resolve in a few days. You may treat this as you would any sore muscle.

 

HOARSENESS: You may have a hoarse voice. Minimize talking. If you must talk, speak in a low voice, don’t whisper.

 

DIET: Start out with soft, bland foods and gradually progress to a normal diet.

 

PROBLEMS: If you experience any of the following, call the office for instructions:

 

You should have a post op appointment for 1 week after surgery.

For questions, problems or refills, call the office at (425) 775-6651.
