How to treat inflammation of the cesarean section incision?

Patient's question:

2008 cesarean section due to medical necessity. From November 2010 to December 2011, everything was normal. However, in December 2011, the incision pain returned, with a hard lump inside, though the outside appeared normal.
Previous treatment and outcomes:
- In February 2011, I received two days of intravenous drips at the hospital, after which the lump gradually shrank and the pain subsided.
- A week later, I noticed another hard lump inside, smaller than before, with some itching and mild pain.
Will medication help? Which type of medicine should I take?
What should I pay attention to in terms of diet?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if the incision of the surgical knife shows signs of inflammation again, it is first necessary to go to the hospital to use povidone-iodine for sterilization and re-bandage with sterile gauze. At the same time, sensitive antibiotics can be used for treatment. In terms of diet, it is important to ensure proper nutrition. Additionally, for cesarean section patients during the treatment period, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
