Drain? Help

I had my drain out Friday they said to expect some drainage and keep covered until scab, well it don't smell, no fever but when changed tonight it was like red, and green coming out on bandage ..and looks like green around hole? Is this normal ? Should I be scared? Should I contact dr in morning ?

Yes, green isn't normal

I would email your dr a pic of the area and a close up of the hole. They may want you to come in or they may let you get antibiotics via phone. Never know? Or it could be the adipose tissue & dermis?

I called hospital that had done at nurse said since not running fever and site doesn't feel hot to touch or look swollen or red to just call dr in morning that sometimes a little green is normal ?

Goodness! I hate stuff like that. I wouldn't worry tonight. Just call the dr. In the morning and see what he says. Watch for redness and increased irritation in the meantime.

Well that is pretty scary! But take comfort in what the nurse said. There has to be some truth in what she said, or she would have told your to get to the hospital asap. Plus I do think if it was infected you would have some other symptoms! So just call in the morning to get reassurance from the dr. :) and try to rest tonight!
