If your mother is seeing pus coming out of her incision, SHE HAS AN INFECTION AND NEEDS TO CONTACT HER SURGEON ASAP.

Infection can go on without a fever, until it becomes severe.

If she can't get hold of her surgeon, then she should go to the ER.

shes in the ER right this moment she is taking tests to see whats causing this problem. The people from the hospital wants her to go home but she refuses to because she feels that it can be bateria and/or infection. Do you know how can she cure this problem. She also contacted her doctor. Thank You
