my mom just had parotidectomy surgery, what can i do to help?

Question

Does a homeopathic remedy exist that can help shrink parotidectomy?

Answer 1

Keep her comfortable: Parotid surgery can range in painfulness and pain control is one of the most important things after any surgery. You can regularly check with her throughout the day and ask her to rate her pain on a 1 to 10 scale and see if she needs pain medication.

Answer 2

Help: Just support her. Help in any way you can. Help her with any questions she may have with her doctors if necessary and inquire about what she needs to do to get better. Most patients do very well after this operation. If it is for a cancer ask about what comes next regarding any additional treatment. You know your mother better than anyone else. Do what you think you need to do.

Answer 3

Please see the photo: This is what the doctor insert in your back beside taking the disc out on the area. I hope it help you understand.

Answer 4

Ask your doctor : Don't be afraid or ashamed. Everything you don't understand or are not sure about your condition or treatment can be perfectly explained by your doctor. Nobody better than the person that just operated on you to tell you precisely what he did. It is common to forget what doctors tell you when under medication. Ask him again.

Answer 5

A SURGEON/FAMILY MD: You can see a general surgeon or your family doctor.

Answer 6

C/S fusion : Findings on a cervical spine MRI alone may not be enough to determine if surgery is or is not needed. Rather, the combination of findings on mri, failure of conservative treatment, degree and progression of symptoms, as well as objective evidence of neurological compromise are used in determining if surgery is the best option.

Answer 7

Disc surgery: Currently disc surgery is done open- laparoscopic techniques are being developed.

Answer 8

How'd you get them?: "cure" depends on whether the original cause for hemorrhoids persists. Have you been straining at stool, have rectal dysfunction, perform an activity that increases pelvic engorgement with blood or increases pelvic pressure (heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, etc.)? Lots to consider here but it sounds like you're trying to postpone the inevitable if interventional methods short of surgery failed.

Answer 9

Hemmorhoid treament: If all other conservative measures have failed surgery is the correct option it can be done via thd as well speak with a surgeon you trust to decide.
