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
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

I've had an abscess in my right breast for about three years now, and I've noticed something that's been worrying me. My right breast seems bigger than the left, and I've also lost sensation in the nipple. I'm wondering if this is due to the abscess or if there could be something else causing it?
Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

I've got an inguinal hernia that I've noticed tends to disappear when I push it back. Thankfully, I haven't had any pain from it yet. But I'm kind of worried because I've got a medical exam lined up in the next 20 days. Is there anything I can do to get it sorted out quickly?
