Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an allergic reaction to the cover bandage or a local infection. For this reason, I recommend consulting as soon as possible with your attending physician for a physical exam and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
