Full transcript
How are you feeling since yesterday's rhinoplasty surgery? Is the swelling or pain manageable at the moment, or would you like something stronger for the discomfort?
Ninajisikia vizuri kiasi, lakini bado kuna maumivu kidogo na uvimbe kwenye pua. Je, hii ni ya kawaida baada ya siku moja?
Please change the dressing gently as instructed, keep the wound completely dry, and avoid touching or pressing your nose directly for the next few days.
Nataka kujua, je nibadilishe bandeji kila siku, au baada ya siku ngapi ili isije ikaathiri kupona kwa jeraha?
You should change the dressing once every two days, not daily — over-cleaning can irritate the healing tissue and slow recovery.
Nahitaji likizo ya siku ngapi kutoka kazini baada ya upasuaji huu, na ni lini nimjulishe mwajiri wangu kuhusu tarehe ya kurudi?
I'd recommend about ten days off work for full healing, and please notify your employer before you're due back, just to confirm the date.
Sawa, asante. Je, nitarudi lini kwa ukaguzi unaofuata, na wapi hasa?
Your follow-up appointment is on Thursday at ten thirty in the morning at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, in the outpatient plastic surgery clinic.
Nina maumivu wakati mwingine usiku. Je, naweza kutumia ibuprofen, au ni dawa gani niyotumie badala yake?
If the pain isn't severe, stick to paracetamol only — please avoid ibuprofen for at least two weeks, since it can increase the risk of bleeding.
Asante sana kwa maelezo haya, muuguzi. Nitafuata maelekezo yote kwa uangalifu.
