In this episode, the doctors break down one of the most common recovery methods: RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). From post-op stiffness to painful swelling, patients often wonder whether ice, bandages, or anti-inflammatory medications are the right call.

We’ll also cover how fever and especially high fever, can be a sign of infection after surgery, and when you need to seek medical attention.

You’ll learn:

- What RICE actually does for swelling and pain

- When ice helps — and when it may slow healing

- The role of compression bandages in reducing swelling

- How anti-inflammatory medications fit into recovery

- Why post-op stiffness happens and how to manage it

- What fever means after surgery, and when it’s an emergency

If you’ve ever iced a wound, worried about swelling, or wondered if your fever is normal after surgery, this episode gives you the clear, doctor-approved answers you need.
