My friend who his 20 years old male got his appendix removed on 22nd june 2023 at 8 pm, unfortunately he got his stitches removed on 1st july 12: 20 am and his stitches were not healed properly, as of now he is experiencing pain while movement on the operation site. What should he do? Will the wound heal on its own now or should he get stitches again? If the wound will heal on its own, what should he do to make the pain go away and what should he eat to make the wound heal faster? As of now, he is taking augmentin and vitamin c supplements.
