Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
For how long you are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension?
Which antibiotics you have used? if it is not healing then there is need to check your blood sugar levels . There is need to get the cultures of the swabs taken from the wound so that appropriate antibiotics can be prescribed.
there is need to get the chest x ray to rule out any infection of the lungs. stay calm and meet your surgeon for proper clinical examination
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
Dr Saad Sultan
