Generally post any operation the patient is susceptible to infections
Have the dressings done to the wound regularly as prescribed the treating doctor
keep your mother's body in hygienic condition.If the fever does not subside within one day and based on the culture report then it is better to go for broad spectrum antibiotics
Use a warm pack
Move regularly Physical immobility is a major factor causing slowed gut motility and gas after a hysterectomy
Avoid eating gas producing foods onion, garlic, oats, potatoes etc
Peppermint promotes gut motility and can be useful in alleviating post hysterectomy gas pain. Drinking peppermint tea can provide relief from wind pain
