Post-Surgical Instructions-Nausea and Vomiting

Rarely, patients will experience nausea and/or vomiting as a side effect of the anesthetic or prescription pain medication.  This typically resolves quickly.  Supportive care is often all that is necessary. 

Dr. Maranon recommends 7-Up or ginger ale and asks that patients avoid dairy products or solid foods until their symptoms improve. 

Even though nausea  and vomiting can be uncomfortable and distressing, they fortunately are self limiting.  These conditions typically improve after a few hours without treatment.  If the symptoms persist or if you have any questions, contact Dr. Maranon as soon as possible at Encino CA Oral Surgery Office Phone Number Encino Oral Surgery Office Phone Number 818-990-5500.
