3. In the early stage after injection, there may be weak chewing and soreness. Avoid eating hard-shelled foods and try to eat softer foods.
4. Do not use aminoglycosides such as gentamicin, tobramycin, netilmicin and kanamycin within 1 week after injection.
5. Fasting spicy, seafood, tobacco and alcohol within 1 week.
