Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is the postoperative wound infection.

It is type of chronic infection.

In such a case Grams staining, culture and sensitivity should be done. And treatment should be taken as per the report received.

Please take the full course of antibiotic treatment as incomplete treatment can cause repeated infection. Please take drugs under your doctors guidance.

Good hygiene is the key for early cure of infection. You should maintain good cleaning and dressing. Dettol and betadine should be used, polysporin ointment can be applied at the time of bandaging.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
