I have been experiencing a fair amount of pain and drainage. I have been taking Advil for the pain. I went back to check with the doctor. He said no infection and that discharge and the somewhat foul odor was mostly natural. I have been soaking in a hot bath to help reduce pain and to keep clean.
Drainage is also a factor.
I am constantly draining which really is unpleasant. While being checked he removed some dead tissue left over from intitial surgery. No real regrets yet. I don't like the lingering pain of course. I am going to try to keep it dry for a few days to see if it can help it heal.
