Asked By:Puppet0625 in USA

How long does it take to drain? When should I worry? I am already on antibiotics but my surgeon seems to not care and said just tough it out sometimes they spontaneously just explode too and everything gushes out hang in there and sent me on my way. My incision has been leaking brown old blood for 4 days now and seemed to get worse today
