It’s been exactly one month since my tracheal resection at Emory University Hospital performed by Dr. Melissa Statham. I’ve been using Mederma and Aloe Vera on my scar and its healing very well. I hope the if my trachea heals as nice as the outside. After being discharged from my post-resection dilation, I was sent home with the following meds and a follow up apt for June 13.
- PREDNISONE 50 MG per day tapered dose over 10 Days.
- AMOX TR-K CLV 500-125 MG twice per day for 10 days
- PANTOPRAZOLE 40 MG TAB once per day with breakfast
- HYDROCODON-ACETAMINOPHEN 5-500 as needed for pain
- ZOLPIDEM TARTRATE 10 MG TABLET as needed for sleep
- SODIUM BICARB 4.2% VIAL nebulized three times per day
- COMBIVENT® RESPIMAT® (ipratropium bromide and albuterol Inhalation Spray twice per day)
