A member asked:
I had a laparoscopic appendectomy a little over a week ago. my naval incision is lined with a white line ( pus?). i am traveling in asia, any advice?

Appendectomy: Watch for pain, redness around the incision, temperature over 100.4 f, and increased drainage. If any of these occur you must be seen locally. If not you may be able to wait until you return, but err on the side of being over-cautious: if in doubt see a doctor locally asap.
