To reduce swelling and aid recovery after fistula surgery, encourage your dad to apply ice packs, take prescribed pain medication, and maintain good hygiene. He should also consider using a donut pillow for comfortable sitting and gradually increase his activity level as tolerated, according to Dr. Raviram S.. It's crucial to attend follow-up appointments with his doctor for monitoring.
