Is there an over the counter drug that reduces recovery time after surgery?

Question

I am having a septo/rhinoplasty in December and would like to recover as fast as possible. Is there an over the counter drug/vitamin/supplement that speeds up recovery time?

thanks

Answer 1

There are probably lots, but ALL bodies are different and what is good for some is not good for others.  You should have a talk with your doctor about what might be good for you after your surgery. I know that you should get good nutrition, though....fruits, veggies, and good sources of  protein will all help your nasal passages heal.

Answer 2

i would say take a multi vitamin, get plenty of rest, get great food before and after, meaning eat healthy fruits and veggies. but really theres no quick way in a healing process except for adequate amounts of vitamins. hope your surgery goes well and good luck!

Answer 3

maybe vitamin c and lysine, but I'm just pulling that out at random

oh god, that guy is abusing vitamins NOOOOOOO

Answer 4

look I'm not saying you are but you come off as a guy who abuses OTC drugs and if so stop trying to act Innocent and if you really do need it then talk to a local pharmacist or doctor who is preforming the operation

Answer 5

no.

Just plan on about 1 and a half weeks recovery

your splints or packing will come out on "about" day 5( some less)

You can however take bioflavanoids to reduce bruising around the eyes and vitamin c

dont smoke

drink plenty of water and juices

keep ice packs handy

Answer 6

no, i don't think so.
