Hi all
I gave birth a week ago, the midwife paid a visit today, she inspected my stitches and advised me that it had become infected but not badly so atm.
She took a swab which will take 3-4 days to analyze and said if the soreness and infection gets worse I should go to my doctor ASAP for anti-biotics.
Im inclined to go to my doctor and get the anti-biotics tomorrow and not wait for a possible deterioration in the infection.
What do people think?
Anyone have any tips to control the infection?
Thanks in Advance
Elenor
