What To Be Done As Green Discharge Coming Out Of The Wound?
MY SISTER INLAW IS DIABETIC. SHE HAS A WOUND THAT IS INFECTED SHE WAS DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL ON LAST FRIDAY SHE INFORME ME TODAY THAT THERE IS GREEN DISCHARGED COMING OUT OF THE WOUND AS OF YESTERDAY THE HOME CARE NURSE WAS CONCERN ON YESTERDAY BUT SHE DID NOTHING SHE WILL BE BACK ON TOMORROW. ALSO THERE WAS NO OINTMENT GIVEN TO HER FOR HER LEG ONLY AMOXCILLIN SHOULD SHE CALL HER DOCTOR NOW?
Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum I appreciate your concern. Greenish discharge infact indicate infected wound. So, If she has been given oral and local antibiotics for treatment it may subside with that only. But she needs to take care of her sugar levels, if not under control infection will spread. If it does not subside/decrease in 2 days visit your doctor. All the best.
