A member asked:
What should i do about a wound infection?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
With any: Infection, treatment in general is local treatment with adequate drainage and removal of dead tissue if necessary, and systemic treatment with antibiotics to control spread of infection to adjacent tissue. You should really consult your surgeon for specific advice.
