Wound Healing and Fluid Discharge

_Current Status_

1. _90% healed_: The wound has made significant progress in healing.
2. _Small raw area remaining_: A fingertip-sized area remains raw and discharging fluid.

_Fluid Discharge_

1. _Serous discharge_: The clear, watery liquid is likely serous discharge, which can be a normal part of the healing process.
2. _Delayed healing_: The persistent discharge might be hindering the healing process.

_Recommendations_

1. _Continue dressing and antibiotic treatment_: Maintain regular dressing changes and antibiotic treatment as prescribed by Dr. Prashanth BN.
2. _Add a topical agent_: Consider adding a topical agent like silver sulfadiazine or povidone-iodine to help control the discharge and promote healing.
3. _Elevate the affected leg_: Whenever possible, elevate the affected leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling and promote healing.
4. _Monitor for infection_: Keep an eye on the wound's appearance, smell, and overall condition. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, seek medical attention immediately.
