my wound from fistula surgery hasn't healed even after 60 days and there's still a bit of pus coming out my doctor says it's normal and will take time but I'm worried should I be on antibiotics to stop the pus
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While your doctor's statement about delayed healing and pus discharge after fistula surgery being normal may be true in some cases, it's important to address your concerns. Pus drainage can be a sign of infection, and a delayed healing time could also indicate an underlying issue. It's recommended to discuss your concerns and the possibility of antibiotics with your doctor. They can assess the situation, determine if antibiotics are necessary, and guide you on the best course of action for your specific case

View allMy nephew is 9 and has had undescended testis since birth. The government hospital recommended surgery but I want a second opinion. Should I see a pediatrician, pediatric surgeon, general surgeon, or urologist for this?
For undescended testes, a pediatric urologist or pediatric surgeon is ideal. Surgery is usually needed before age 1–2. Delay increases cancer and fertility risks.
