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?

Had a laparoscopic appendectomy 5 months ago but now getting pain on the right side of my abdomen again - what could be causing this? The pain just started recently and I'm not sure if it's related to the surgery or something else
It's possible the right-side abdominal pain you're experiencing 5 months after your laparoscopic appendectomy could be due to stump appendicitis, a rare complication where a remaining part of the appendix becomes inflamed. Other potential causes include scar tissue, hernias, or other abdominal issues. It's crucial to consult with your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
