If they put mesh in, make sure the mesh isn't infected. If it is, it'll have to be removed, then a course of antibiotics and then replacement....when it's healed and clear of infection.
yes doc its the mesh omg i hope theres no infection there , hot and cold and being dizzy, feeling sick this is all the things I told the dr but it was like bugga this we will get you back in bout 2 weeks and do something then , but in the mean time if this gets worse come back to the Hospital, Thats pretty much how I was treated. surley this cant be right. the wound is hot too the touch and is red and angry too im worried and I cant help it . sorry for being a winger but its just so sore .. thanks for listening
Both reactions to stiches and infection could yield a swollen, red wound. Antibiotics help when you know which bug it is and get a report on which drugs it is not resistant to. From your generalized symptoms, I'd suspect infection and want to rule that out first. Cultures should be taken from inside the wound, antibiotics started and then modified per the report.
why do the public Hospitals have to be so slow, even when they say you will hear something in the next few days, hahaha I have come to the conclusion that they have conspiracy against everyone waiting to get minnor things done
No conspiracy...just poor organization and procedures and probably just one person being told to do the job of three.
I do hope it isn't infection, sweety. I tend to be a pessimist and try to eliminate the worse possibilities first.
Love to ya from the States.
