5 Warning Signs a Wound Needs Professional Care
Most families don’t know when to be concerned — and waiting too long can lead to serious complications.
Here are 5 signs you should NOT ignore:
🚩 1. The wound is larger or deeper than it was 3 days ago
🚩 2. Redness is spreading beyond the wound edges
🚩 3. Increased drainage, pus, or foul odor
🚩 4. Fever over 100.4°F has developed
🚩 5. The wound isn’t healing after 2–3 weeks
⚠️ If you notice ANY of these — call your doctor immediately.
But here’s the smarter move…
Have a skilled nurse monitoring the wound at home before it gets to that point.
