I am 3 weeks post op. I have been experiencing sig. drainage from my R breast incision. I’m on 500mg Cipro BID. Drainage is mostly serous w/o odor. Ocassionally dark yellow. No redness or warmth to the breast. Slight erythema to peri-wound area.

I go back on Mon, but what are the possible next steps, and best/worst case scenarios. I’m scared.
