Asked By:belkabree

I am concerned but have red that yellow is normal. Is does have minor odor to it. Should I be concerned? My PS is in Mexico. I sent him photos but he said it’s normal. I just dont want an infection. He asked me to stop the antibiotics on Tuesday (post op day 10) which was the day the front two drainage tubes were taken out.
