What should I take for pain after anesthesia with stitches? Tylenol, Advil? Can I bathe with stitches?

Tylenol would be the best choice for pain relief after anesthesia with stitches. It is not recommended to immerse the wound in water in the days following the procedure. The wound should only be cleaned on the outside with soapy water, rinsed, and dried. It is safe to immerse the wound only once it is completely closed.
