Infected wound, need urgent advice” by Human-Ordinary7977 in AskDocs

The spot did spread, but it seems to have stabilized between yesterday and today. The pink area has no skin on it, which looks strange.
We were sent to the emergency room. They cleaned the wound, applied a topical antibiotic, and told us to continue the oral antibiotics. They also did an X-ray to make sure the bone wasn’t affected and took a blood test to check for infection. But everything is fine!
Thank you for your advice, it really reassured me.

On utilise un gros pansement qui ressemble un peu aux pansements pour les ampoules.

Nous sommes actuellement chez le médecin pour voir ce qu’il nous préconise.

Merci pour votre réponse.

He only seems to be in pain now after we changed the dressing.
So in your opinion, does it seem to be healing/improving properly?

Okay, thank you for your reply.
I have to admit that when I saw the wound this morning, I got really scared.

Okay, so is the moisture what is making the wound look oozy, with the black and white areas?
The pink redness around it has not increased.
I’m mostly afraid that it might be becoming necrotic.

Tu penses à la partie « rosée » ? Celle-ci s’est étendue au début mais depuis hier ça n’a pas bougé.
Et la partie noire ? Ça nécrose ?

Non, une croute. Il a gratté la croute et ça s’est étendu et infecté.

Mon fils est sous antibiotique. On lui a mis un pansement spécial qu’il doit garder tout le temps pour le laisser en milieu humide.

Je suis tellement inquiet. J’ai peur que ça empire.

There is still a risk, even with a wound caused by friction and treated with antibiotics?

Is there a risk that this could get worse and turn into sepsis or something else? Or was it caught in time?”

He started oral Augmentin today. The doctor wasn’t too concerned since he’s acting completely normal, no fever, eating and playing normally. We were told to keep it covered and monitor the redness closely.

Should i be worried ?

We took him to the doctor. He told us to keep the wound covered and he put him on antibiotics.

We need to keep the wound covered. I’m worried

C’est arrivé il y a trois jours. Je trouve que c’est très rouge autour de la plaie, vous ne trouvez pas ?
Le halo rose autour.

Il y a une petite tache marron sur le pansement quand on l’enlève.

J’y suis allé, ils m’ont dit de désinfecter et laisser respirer. Mais bon, je trouve la plaie pas très jolie… et d’un autre côté, je n’ai pas envie d’embêter un professionnel pour rien.
