Clear Fluid Leaking out 5 Days Post-op?

November 24, 2012
Asked By:grazielle26

I am 8 days post-op, crease incision, subglandular. Drain was removed 4th day post-op and on the 5th day, fluid started leaking out on my right incision. Left was completely closed. Fluid was clear, a bit pinkish in order amounting to about half a tablespoon a day. My PS removed the suture on the 7th day on both sides but put a rubber drain on the side that's leaking. I have no fever and pain is minimal to none unless I press it. I am still on antibiotic. Should I be worried?
