If I have no pain or bleeding and I am on antibiotics to prevent infection, what is the logic behind "one week."
It has been 3 days since the procedure and I bled only on the first 36 hours. Now I have no pain, no blood and feel great.
What is the logic behind your answer?
Is 3 days enough or not?
Thank you for your answer.
