Answer:

Dear Ira,

It's not something I know about. Only two days after surgery, you should stay away from anything that is hot, be it food and drink. The heat gets namely your blood vessels to dilate, resulting in increased risk of wound starts to bleed again. Also, you must stay calm after an operation, not to start bleeding.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen
