Suggest Remedy For Draining Abscess Pocket On Ascending Colon

I have a drain coming out of an abcess pocket on my ascending colon. It has been there 5 days and is still draining some.I'm also on antibiotics for another week and am supposed to have the drain for the week as well. I noticed the tube seems to have loosened a little - maybe a half inch and a little fluid came out - due to the bag(bulb) hanging down. The stitches that were put in are sticking out more. I'm sitting down and it is not dripping now. Its Sat night and I'm wondering if I can wait til Monday to see the dr.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that nothing to worry about in your case. If you are worrying about infection you can get antimicrobial sensitivity done. And start treatment accordingly. Rest discharge for some times is common and nothing more intervention is required.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
