Epitosomy Stitches
I had normal delivery 10 days back. I was given non absorbable interrupted stitches which are of knot type. Today I went for my 3rd dressing and the gyne cut all the stitches but there is this infection, pus is coming from it. Will it get healed on its own or do I need to get stitched again?

There is pus
When infection is there first you need to take antibiotics and some other medications too
When there is infection and pus should not do suturing
Needs to cleaned or dressing every day until it heals
Use sterile guaze and betadine clean that area and put ointment and eat good protein diet and clean that area neatly even when you go for washroom
Pls do connect for medication and how to do dressing
