Getting ready for a cochlear implant surgery Part 4
After Surgery: Depending on the situation and your doctor’s preference, you or your child will either go home the same day or stay the night in the hospital. You should be provided with post-surgery guidelines, including bathing and bandage treatment instructions, medication procedures, and possible activity restrictions. Make sure you understand and follow these post-surgery guidelines.
You may receive antibiotics or other instructions to prevent infection. You will be instructed to watch for symptoms such as swelling, redness, fever, bleeding, and/or excessive pain. Any of these or other symptoms provided by your doctor could be signs of infection, which your doctor will want to treat immediately. Be sure that you have an emergency contact number should you or your child need post- surgical treatment. Meanwhile, the natural healing process will continue—any discomfort and pain should subside, and other possible post-surgical symptoms will dissipate.
