Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

I just want to ask a few questions.
1. Did you get the vaccines on time?
2. Were the wounds washed with soap and water?

Do not worry.

I would suggest you to

- Apply Mupirocin ointment locally.
- Take warm compress overthe area
- I would start tablet Diclofenac along with tablet ranitidine to relieve the pain.


Visit a surgeon. He/she can examine the wound and correlate clinically.


Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
