I had gallbladder surgery 2 days ago with dissolvable stitches and the bandage is off now. I'm taking antacids but wondering if I should also take antibiotics just to be safe

It's understandable to be concerned about potential infections after surgery, but you should generally only take antibiotics if specifically prescribed by your doctor. Antibiotic use should be guided by your healthcare provider based on their assessment of your individual situation. If you have any concerns about your wound or recovery, it's always best to contact your doctor or other healthcare provider for personalized advice
