Suggest Medication For Abdominal Pain
I had an abdominoplasty 9 days ago and was feeling quite well up till last night. I have some pain around the right side where drain tubes were and its a bit like a burning sensation. I am swollen just above the incision line right across my stomache and am not sure if it is fluid or not. I just dont feel that well today and my stomache was quite sore when trying to sleep last night. I dont see my surgeon until Monday so just wont to know if I should be concerned Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of Abdominoplasty 9 days ago, now have burning pain around the right side where the drain tubes were, swelling just above the incision line, soreness present, not feeling well today.
There may be a seroma or mild infection causing the symptoms.
Watch if you have fever, nausea or bloating. If no present, nothing much to worry. Take the medicines as advised by your Doctor.
If there is any problem you can visit the ER and get checked:
Blood for CBC.
Ultrasonography to see if there is collection;
Aspiration if required and get the dosages of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines till you see your Surgeon.
