Is It Normal To Have Blood Pockets On The Wound And The Head With Leaking Fluid In A 5 Year Old?

I have a friend who was in a car wreck when her son was 1 1/2 and his skull was crushed. He has had several surgeries since then, he is now 5 years old. Now, his head is profusely leaking fluid from his most recent surgery. It also gets blood pockets on the wound. Is this normal?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
This is not good, because in this pockets bacterias can cause inflammation and wound will heal for a long time. They can put drainage in these wounds and wash these pockets with antibiotic, should apply 1%chloramphenicol 2 times a day. I think she receives general antibiotics for prophylaxis of infection - augmentin -250 mg 3 times after meal 7 days and visilac 1 capsule 1 time 14 days for prophylaxis of disbacteriosis. Give to her Vitamin C 500g 1 time 20 days ,it will also helpful in stopping of bleeding.
Recovery soon
