How Long It Takes To Heal Swelling Around Incision Post Foot Surgery?
I had foot surgery approximately 7 weeks ago to have a bone spur and cyst removed from the top of my foot. It was really healing well and two weeks ago which was 5 weeks post surgery it became infected. I am on my second round of antibiotics. It is better but I still have fluid and swelling around the incision. I had it lanced and drained once already. Is the time frame to heal normal? At what point should I get another opinion?

In my opinion you need to take a second opinion also look for reasons of inability of body and antibiotics to fight infection , like using allergy drugs or diabetes
