[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you bad odor in wound is suggestive of infected wound, which is also suspected with slow healing. I advise you to go with culture and sensitivity of the organism. Take treatment according to the sensitivity report and your infection will go in a week or two. Kindly check her blood sugar and if its high kindly maintain it to normal it will help you in healing fast. I will be happy to answer your further concerned can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
