Post surgery issue

On 4th Jan, my father had inguinal Harnia surgery. He is having issues in the surgical cuts. Post stitches opening, his stiched areas started having redness, swelling and bleeding. He is already applying Betadine, but it's not working. Surgery done on 4th , stiches opened 10th Jan, bleeding started from 12th.

Sounds like the surgery wound is infected
Next Steps
Visit your doctor again. They’ll see the wound in person and probably suggest antibiotics and frequent dressings on the wound
