I'm facing a bit of a situation with a wound on my leg that's taking a while to heal, and I could really use some guidance. So my bike skidded about a month and a half ago and I ended up hitting my leg on the footpath. Most of the wound has healed, but there's this small part, about the size of a fingertip, thats still raw. It's been oozing this clear, watery liquidnot yellowwhich I think might be preventing it from healing completely. I saw Dr. Prashanth BN at Vijayshree hospital and have been keeping up with regular dressing and using Augmentin D as an antibiotic and Betadine as an ointment, even tried turmeric powder on it. Pain's gone down, but I'm out of town now and wondering what else I can do to get it to heal fully. Any advice on how to stop this liquid and get the wound completely healed?

Postpartum Nose Bleeding and Eye Redness

Causes

1. Hormonal changes: Postpartum hormonal fluctuations can cause blood vessels to become more fragile, leading to nosebleeds.
2. Dry air: Low humidity can dry out nasal passages, increasing the risk of nosebleeds.
3. Increased blood pressure: Postpartum hypertension can cause blood vessels to become more susceptible to bleeding.
4. Eye strain: Fatigue, dry eyes, or eye irritation can cause eye redness.

Precautions and Recommendations

1. Monitor and report: Keep track of nosebleeds and eye redness, and report any changes or concerns to your healthcare provider.
2. ENT specialist: Consult an ENT specialist to rule out any underlying conditions, such as nasal polyps or sinus infections.
3. Eye doctor: Schedule an appointment with an eye doctor to assess eye health and address any concerns.
4. Gynecologist follow-up: Schedule a postpartum follow-up with your gynecologist to discuss any concerns or symptoms.

Breastfeeding

1. Continue breastfeeding: Nosebleeds and eye redness are not typically contraindications for breastfeeding.
2. Monitor for any changes: If you notice any changes in your milk supply, baby's behavior, or your overall health, consult your healthcare provider.

Please Note

1. Seek immediate attention: If nosebleeds are heavy, frequent, or accompanied by other symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
