Burning wound causing problem
In May month, my mom suffered a burn injury when left side of her abdomen and parts of left thigh was burned(18%) due to boiled water. She got proper treatment with Silverx gel, aloderm, scar end silicon gel and proper dressing for few months and recovered mostly, but she still feel pains while bending or lying down on wounded side, like something is pulling in the abdomen. An itching feeling and a heavy feeling sometimes in that particular side of abdomen is also there.
She also took 2 tricort 40 injection after taking doctors advice, but this problem is not subsiding. what can be done?
