My husband had surgery on his big right toe. He had an ingrown toenail which was completely removed and the growth plate cut back. The surgery was done almost 2 1/2 weeks ago on Friday. The toe was healing OK last Monday, but the doc wanted to keep the stitches in. My husband being a carpenter and feeling OK went back to work this past week. Today when he went in to the doc to have stitches removed they were quite concerned because of redness and swelling of toe. Also, there is a small hole (probably from the suture) that is open to the bone. He is on an antibiotic, doing epsom salt soaks and putting antibiotic cream in that hole. I have been giving him Hepar Sulph today and wonder if there is something else I should give him instead. Thanks in advance for your help.
