Incission Complications..HELP!

[Kim101684 0]

Hi everyone, I recently had my surgery on January 12, 2011. I was doing okay until day 2 post op I noticed some yellowish/green discharge from one of my incissions. I called my surgeon right away and he prescribed an antibiotic for me to take. Another 2 days has passed and the area around the incission is really red and my skin surrounding the area is hot to the touch and swollen. The incission is still pussing under the glue. My follow up appointment is not until Tuesday. What should I do? I'm really concerned. : (

Go to the ER if your really concerned, don't wait until Tuesday. Good Luck:)

If that incision is assoc with port, your port may be infected, and should be removed and that can be reinserted after several months. If that incision is not asoc with your port site, antibiotics and local wound care by your Dr. is SUFFICIENT.
