- Please change cotton gauze every 10-15 minutes, until bleeding has stopped.
- Eat soft/liquid foods (soup, yogurt, macaroni & cheese, popsicles, etc.) for the rest of the day.
- Do not drink with a straw, spit or do any vigorous swishing, as this will dislodge the blood clot.
- No running or jumping for the rest of the day. Take it easy!
- An over-the-counter pain medication (Tylenol/Motrin) can be taken if needed once the anesthetic wears off.
- It is best to place an old pillow case over your child’s pillow, as they may drool and stain the pillow.
