Hi

Thanks for posting your query .

I need to know is there any discharge from the incision wound ? IS there any tenderness over the incision wound ? Is there any skin redness around the wound ?

Infection of the incision wound will prevent proper healing and closing of the wound . Kindly revert back with the details asked .

You need to take stronger antibiotics and ,may even require cleaning and dressing of the wound . If there is any discharge from wound it has to be sent for a test called Pus Culture sensitivity .

Any clarifications feel free to ask , Happy to answer.
