I had my Drain tubes removed a day ago, the left hole is not draining and is closing well. My right hole is draining a lot. can i put Neosporin with bandage on it? i keep filling up small gauze pads every few hours it is not "clear" but looks like it did when the dr removed the tube and he said it was normal. How can i deal with this.
