Patients with postoperative incision infection are mainly characterized by swelling and pain at the incision, etc. Patients can go to the hospital for dressing change, use hydrogen peroxide, saline, etc. to flush the wound, and can take anti-inflammatory drugs such as erythromycin tablets, erythromycin dispersible tablets, cephalosporin, etc. under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
