what should patients do if they see any signs of infection after a surgical procedure? take ibuprofen call the office wait two days to be sure and then notify the surgeon take pictures of the wound
After a surgical procedure, if signs of infection appear, patients should contact their medical provider promptly. Calling the office (the surgical office or healthcare provider's office) is the appropriate action to get professional guidance, as infections after surgery need timely assessment and treatment. Taking ibuprofen is for pain, not infection management. Waiting or taking pictures are not appropriate first steps for addressing infection concerns.
