The Answer To My Incision Problem

I got ahold of Dr. Seidman via email due to the scabbing and itching of my incision and he answered back shortly.
1) I am to GENTLY clean the incision with peroxide. (I did and ouch! It burned...)
2) I am to put some triple antibiotic ointment sparingly on it.
3) I am to start a course of Keflex antibiotics (blech! I hate Keflex!)

Anyway, so I ate my words from my last post, and although I don't have a fever and the incision isn't draining, we are treating it as if it is infected. Hopefully after this treatment is done I won't have any further issues!

**On a side note, my taste is coming back more and more:)
I had to go back down to C 2, as C 3 was still too loud, and I think it mostly has to do with fluid in the ear. I'm still taking Zyrtec-D for that but it really doesn't seem to be working as well this time.
