I've had an accident recently and now I've got these wounds on both of my hands. The one on my right hand is healing, but the other one is starting to look infected and has some pus. I'm already on some painkillers, but I'm really not sure what I should be eating to help reduce the pus and speed up the healing. Could you give me some advice on diet or anything else that might help?

-To help reduce the pus and support healing, focus on foods rich in vitamin C (like citrus fruits, berries, and leafy greens), zinc (such as nuts, seeds, and legumes), and protein (found in lean meats, eggs, and beans). Drinking plenty of water and eating

It's been 3 months since my fistula surgery but the wound still hasn't healed completely - is this normal or could there be an underlying issue causing the delay in healing?
It's not uncommon for fistula wounds to take a few months to heal completely, and a delay in healing can be due to various factors. While a 3-month healing period isn't inherently abnormal, it's important to address any concerns you have with your healthcare provider. They can assess the wound, identify potential underlying issues, and recommend appropriate management.
