Suggest Remedy To Cure The Wound

Hello! I had meniscus surgery 6 days ago and my wound is still pussing. Very slowly, but its coming out yellow, I don t see any increased swelling or redness, I have no pain. So I don t think its infected? But how can I make it stop? Surely this isn t good. I d appreciate any advice Doc, thank you.....Mike

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.If you dont have redness and swelling infection is most unlikely.The puss like thing you see is most likely from absorption of catgut sutures which might have used in surgery or a leak of synovial fluid.It is better to show your surgeon and rule out that.Usually i advise application of betadine ointment and also tell them to keep wound away from dust by cover with gauze.Taking vitamin C also makes healing faster.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
