Instructions for Post-Operative Care after Snoring Surgery

• Diet: Soft diet until sore throat is gone. Avoid salty and spicy foods, as well as fruits and juices with citric acid, i.e. orange juice.
• Activity: Avoid heavy lifting or exercise until sore throat is gone.
• Take Tylenol for pain. Avoid Motrin, Advil, and Aspirin because these can make you bleed. If your pain is not controlled with Tylenol, fill the prescription for Lortab elixir and follow the instructions on the bottle.
• It can take up to six weeks to achieve a reduction in snoring.
• Please bring your probe at all followup visits.
• If this is your second or third treatment, there are no dietary or activity restrictions.

• Bleeding
