Patient's question:
Doctor, five months ago, the baby's finger was injured by a razor blade and required stitches at the hospital. In the past few months at home, the stitches have occasionally become red, with white spots and pus oozing out. Is this internal inflammation or inflammation of the stitches? They have appeared red several times again, and I am quite concerned. Is hospitalization treatment necessary?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this for you. Based on the situation you described, it is likely caused by an infection. For your condition, it is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication orally. Additionally, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination, as it is not ruled out that the injury may be due to unhealed deep stitches. You will need to go to the hospital for further evaluation.This is the advice for the question "Does a five-month-old baby need to be hospitalized if their finger was cut by a razor blade?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
