When can I eat or drink after treatment?
Only the treating team can answer for your procedure, anesthesia, symptoms, and medicines. Ask for written instructions covering fasting end time, water, first meal, texture, portions, and warning signs before discharge.
How should I communicate a food allergy?
Use the exact ingredient name in Korean and another understood language, describe cross-contact concerns and severity, carry the clinician-provided action plan and prescribed emergency medicine, and confirm understanding rather than relying only on an app translation.
Does pork-free mean halal?
No. Korea Tourism Organization uses separate restaurant categories, and a pork-free venue may not offer halal food and may sell alcohol. Check certification, ingredients, cooking alcohol, shared equipment, and current restaurant information directly.
What should I check at my accommodation?
Check safe food storage, refrigerator and microwave access, drinking water, nearby suitable food, delivery access, utensils, companion help, and how quickly you can contact the clinic if eating, drinking, swallowing, or symptoms become difficult.
