Question 1

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.
