Thanks for your query at HCM!
I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query!
I suggest that if discharge is coming out it must be tested to evaluate for infectious agent by gram staining and culture tests for bacterial both aerobic and anaerobic infection. If sterile no need to worry just maintain good hygiene.
But if infectious take treatment based on the sensitivity reports.
Best of the surgeries are sometimes ruined by infection. So take precautions.
Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query.
Take care!
