infections - flap reconstruction
![mariam_11_09](https://us.v-cdn.net/6035652/uploads/pictures/npicture-111056.jpg)
My stomach goes red and itches, it is a little swollen. I am taking the antibiotic, the third one he has given me although this one is based a sample he took from me. What makes me nervous is that he said if it doesn't clear up he will have to open me up completely and I don't want any more surgery right now.
Has anyone else had anything like this. I am just not sure why I keep getting infection.

I am sorry
My friend had similar situation. She was prescribed a topical solution. Your new antibiotic should help within 48 hours. Do you have enough rest and good nutrition? Try to boost your immune system, drink a lot of liquids. I wish you to feel better soon.

I had a problem with my belly button (redness and discharge), which was treated with an antibiotic and an antibiotic cream. It took a while, but it finally cleared up and was fine a few weeks after surgery. I did have a lot of swelling in my abdomen after the drains came out, and the incision was quite red (only along the incision). And, sometimes there's itching when you are healing. So, your new symptoms may be OK, but you should have them checked. At least once I thought that it was a further infection when it was really a natural part of healing.
Hope you're able to see someone from your doctor's office today and that everything is healng fine.
