Seek treatment: Do you mean you have a wound infection? If you mean you have another infection elsewhere, it probably isn't related directly to the craniotomy. I would talk to your doctor if you aren't getting better. Chest pain and breathing problems could be signs of something much more serious, such as a pneumonia or a pulmonary embolus.
