Patient's question:
An 8-year-old child had a fibroma removed from their wrist and bone grafting, followed by the installation of a steel plate. Today is the sixth day, and there is pus in the incision. How should this be resolved? Is it appropriate to use oral antibiotics for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is known that an 8-year-old child had a fibroma removed from their wrist, bone grafting was performed, and a steel plate was installed. There is pus in the incision, and proper dressing changes are needed.Recommendation: Go to the hospital for a blood test, including complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) to check for inflammatory indicators. Rest well during the day, avoid overexertion, and do not expose yourself to hardship or cold.
Regularly visit the hospital for dressing changes, using hydrogen peroxide and povidone-iodine. Take some antibiotics, and it will gradually improve.
