Hey Millie - my c-section incision got infected too. I had my son on Dec 3 and 10 days post opt I noticed a nasty/foul odor - went to my doctor - he gave me cream for it...dum dum...they it got worse and I ended up in the ER - they put me on antibiotics and I had a nurse come once a day to pack it. We are now..6 weeks post opt and it has almost healed but there is this small part that is still slightly open - although not infected. I keep hoping every morning that it will be closed...I go to see my doctor on thursday and hopefully if it's not closed by then they will do something for me - either stitch it up or remove some tissue so it will close. If you have a fever - GET TO THE ER - fevers are important to deal with after a c-section. I would just not leave the ER until the deal with you. Good luck and keep us updated - I will do the same. I wish you a speedy recovery. As if having a c-section isen't enough eh? Dealing with these infections are a total drag.....
