I had foot surgery approximately 7 weeks ago to remove a bone spur and cyst on the top of my foot. It went well until 2 weeks ago, 5 weeks post surgery go infected. I am on my second round of antibiotics. It is healing but I still have fluid and swelling around the incision. Do you think this time frame of healing an infection is normal? At what point would you consider getting a second option?
Hi Having fluid and swelling around the incision means there is still inflammation present. You still need to continue antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. You also have to consult the surgeon again if swelling persists. You also need to do your sugars and complete blood count. You can discuss with your doctor if it needs to be investigated further in terms of scaling the foot to review any cyst or Chat Doctor. Thanking you ....
