How To Cure Water Filled Blisters After An Lung Biopsy?

Hi..my mother underwent a lung biopsy two days back.
I had opened up the wound yesterday and applied undiluted savlon only on around the wound area and not on the wound.
Today I found water filled small blisters. I tried to burst few blisters and water came out. So I got scared and put some calo soft lotion on the surrounding area.. And covered it with dry gauze. I hope it's not serious.
Please help..

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should immediately consult treating doctor.
Because your mother is having Surgical Site Infection (SSI).
It is skin infection seen at the site of infection.
It is mostly due to poor post operative wound care.
Fluid containing blisters are suggestive of SSI only.
So your mother needs thorough cleaning of wound and proper aseptic dressing.
For all these consult treating doctor.
I find this answer helpful
