Patient's question:
I gave birth to my baby yesterday via C-section, but there's some redness and pain around the incision. What should I do about the redness and pain at the C-section incision?Doctor's answer:
The incision of a cesarean section is slightly red and a bit painful. This condition can be contagious. You can take some anti-inflammatory medication orally, such as cephalexin or amoxicillin. When the pain is severe, you can take loxoprofen sodium to promote blood circulation. Change the dressing on time. Rest more and avoid excessive exercise. Pay attention to your diet, drink more water, and eat easily digestible foods, such as millet porridge and steamed buns. Be cautious of colds—soak your feet in hot water every night and wipe your external genitalia daily. Ensure sufficient deep sleep.
