I had a staph infection a couple weeks after surgery on my insidious line thats now cleared. I’ve been packing it and keeping it very clean. I’ll go ahead and mention that I am a RN...five days ago my upper stomach plus my belly button started to swell and turned bright red and was supper hot. I made an apt with my doc. He prescribed me an antibiotic and recultured my small wound (not currently my problem). That was yesterday. I’m now running a 101+ fever, and I overall feel horrible.
