Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Leakage of fluids can be possible after a week or so.

Leakage after this time is abnormal. It requires a treatment.

I suggest you to do culture and sensitivity from the fluid coming out.

If it is infected than appropriate antibiotics as per the report will cure you.

If the fluid is non infected than it requires a correction surgery.

Once this measures are taken the fluid will decrease coming out.

Please maintain good hygiene locally, you can do it by frequent cleaning and dressing. This will equally important as taking drugs.

You can use betadine and dettol to do dressing from the wound.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
