Is it normal to have burning sensation after stitches splitting?

lalamama123
Ok, today I think I spit 2 stiches. I notice a red dot on my right breast and when I looked closer it was a hole. Then I looked at my left and there was a scab & I scratched it and puss came out. I called e# and the ps on call said it sounds like a spit stitch and to put neosporin& bandage over it. I have a burning sensation on the spit stich that is bleeding. Normal?? I have to wait until Monday to see my ps. I feel a little feverish too. Not sure if it's a flu or infection. TY
