Would A Multivitamin Every Day Post Incisional Hernia Repair Help The Body In Healing?
I had an incisional hernia repaired yesterday. I experienced nausea (from Tylenol with Codene 300-30) I resumed Inulin (80 units this evening, & Metrformin, 850 mg & Tramadol HCL50mg. I feel much better. The pain is minimal. I am taking Cepgalexin as directed. Blood in drain bottle is red and minimal and turning a lighter shade of red. 70-80 ml/hr. I changed dressing, applied Bactricin. In your opinion, Would a multi vitamin every other day assist my body in healing?

Multivitamins help only if you are malnourished and have deficiency.
If you were taking good food prior to operation then the multivitamin would produce a majestic colored urine and no difference in wound healing.
A good local asepsis and balanced diet would make a difference.
Just to inform you if you really want to take multivitamins then you should take them daily due to their short duration of action
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!
