Stitches on arm

2020-02-15 02:59:22
I got these 8 stitches on last Sunday evening. I started medication on a day later. Medication course was for 5 days. When should i visit doctor to remove these stitches? (I.e Saturday, sunday or Monday) He said 7 days. It was a govt. Hospital as others were closed. I don't want to go there. So which kind of doctor should i prefer who can open these stitches ? And still i have pain so can i continue with the painkiller?
