Should I go back to doctor?

Question

Cesarean incision starting to smell. A few days ago I had a small pink bubble (the size of a pencil eraser) that appeared and went to the dr. He prescribed me saline solution to wipe it with and also antibiotics. Overnight it started to smell where the pink bubble is. Could this be the infection oozing out? Or are things getting worse and I should see dr again? Still have 4 days left on antibiotics.

Answer

Yes go ASAP. You just had major surgery! You need to be very cautious with your body right now.

Answer

I would continue taking your antibiotics and if the smell doesn’t go away after you’re finished then go to the doctor.

Answer

At the minimum, CALL YOUR DOCTOR and ask about the smell. I’d expect they want you to come in to be checked again. Weird smells from healing wounds seems like a big red flag.
