I think one of my wounds has become infected its leaking a bit of horrible fluid slightly yellow , cant get to see nurse or doctor and walk in is full so ive been turned away so any advice please on how I can clean it what can I use?
i would advise you clean the wound with water and apply an inadine dressing and a mepore ontop for protection… this will help kill any infection on the skin surface and clean the wound up. If you have an widespread redness to the area you really need to get someone to check you out and make sure you don’t need antibiotics…
can I ask which wound it is…?? Is it the large wound or one of the smaller ones..?? xx
Awww Ok so I’m guessing that’s around your portsite location…?? If the inadine doesn’t dry things up or you get any additional redness/swelling/pain to the area you need to get it checked out. If your wound is infected you want to nip it at the bud with antibiotics at the soonest…. you don’t want anything transmitting to your port
This happened to me cleared up with the iodine bug hugs xxx
