Stitches At Left Side Of Lower Naval From Gallbladder Surgery Feel Tight And Painful. Burning Cheek Bones, Fever. Should I Be Worried ?
I had laproscopic gallbladder surgery on friday. The stitches at the left side of my lower naval feel tight and painful still. I woke up nauseous and light headed this morning. Drank some water and ate and felt better. Now my cheek bones are burning and I m borderlining on a low grade fever and just noticed a rash to the far right on my rib incisions. Should I be worried?
