General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms are suggestive of wound site infection.

Consult a general surgeon and go for a pie culture and start antibiotics according to the cultural studies.

Nothing much to worry and the symptoms will settle with proper antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
