6 weeks post OHS, 6 week old
Just saw this pop up the last few days on his incision he is six weeks postop. I’m just worried if this is the start of an infection? We try to keep his neck as clean as we can but milk still gets on his neck even with a bib. I plan to call the doctors but it’s Saturday and I’m assuming they’re not there. Just wanted some advice please!
Update: spoke to the on call physician and he spoke to the cardiology surgeon team. I was able to email them these photos and they said it is a suture trying to come out! They advised to put a warm compress on it a few times a day and they will call back in a few days to check! Sounds like it’s not too worrisome at the moment
