Improper Removal Of Stitches From Forehead, Now Have Frequent Pain, Headache, Fever. Infection?
Hello, about 1 month ago I went to a med center to have stitches removed from my forehead about 1 week & a half ago I noticed a stitch was sticking out.. I think that doctor didn t properly remove all of them. Now I m experiencing pain, frequent headaches & fever . I m concerned of infection. Is this possible & should I go to er and have this removed properly?

Hi
First thing to be done is that if one stitch is left please getvit removed otherwise no body can rule out chance of infection .Why move all over with a foreign body not required .Your worry will be over
