Suggest Treatment For Yellow Discharge From The Wound
I fell into the bushes a couple days ago and cut my knee open and when I went to the emergency room they cut the skin off and cleaned it. She put me on antibiotics because there was a slight infection in one of my other wounds. There s a bunch of yellow gooey stuff all over the wound and the wound is leaking orange stuff. What is the orange stuff and what should I do?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an infection of the wound.
I suggest cleaning the wound with hydrogen peroxide.
I also suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application and cover it with a clean bandage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
