Is Swelling On The Forehead After Stitching A Wound Normal?
Hi my girlfriend cut the oppressed corner of her forehead open .. About a 2 cm cut that needed 6 stitches.. It s has been 36 hours since the stitches .. She now has some swelling the size of a golf ball that is one inch away from the stitches .. Is this normal or alarming?
As per your history you have an inflammation after stitch of the wound.Please add ALDIDASE-S 10 mg 3 times per day along with BROTZU-500 mg once a day upto 5 days (Antibiotics) .Thanks
Hi & Welcome. I appreciate your concern for your girlfriend. Based on the history given she seems to have developed a collection of blood (hematoma) or an abscess around the stitched wound. She needs to be examined by her doctor and appropriate treatment like drainage of the abscess should be done.
Hope this will help her/.
