abscess and fistula _{Page 11 of 11}

No he is not complaining of pain and he is letting me clean the wound area. regards.

Dear Nawaz , an update for you. Has had hypericum and calendula as suggested for 5 days. The wound is shallower but has been bleeding when cleaning or slight stretch. The blood is red and fresh. There has been wet patches in between cleaning and bath . Cannot tell if this is pus or again just sloughing from healing. We went to surgeon for check up and they said the wound is slow to heal but is slowly getting there. There is no pain on passing stool. They said that after the surgery they sent some tissue away for checking and now believe the tissue indicate there is a chance my son has chrohns disease and hence why he has had the abscesses and fistula. They have now referred us to the gastroenterologist to see what the situation is in the colon. We are now worried about this new suggestion. Please advise what we should do. Thanks again.

Dear Nawaz, an update for you. We saw the gastro-enterologist and they have suggested certain tests are carried out.They have for confirmed he does have perianal chrohns disease. He has to have an endscopy and sigmoidscopy? to look at the small/large colon and see exactly what is going on.They have also requested a barium meal mri scan. At the moment the fistula wound is causing me concern. It looks red, weeping green/yellowy discharge. it does have an odour but not pungent and the wound is less deep but refusing to dry and close up. it is painful to touch as the tissue is more at the surface more raw and red.After passing stool because of the stretch in that area it was bleeding. The tissue needs to heal together. Dear God I pray everyday . please advise if I should give calendula/Hypericum to help this wound to heal. thanks again

Also to mention The wound has nearly granulated to the skin surface. it is draining but not healing over. Is there anything else you would recommend? many thanks

Dear Nawaz,

Thy have suggested he takes a course of antibiotics ciprofloxacin. This gives me great concern as the side effects are colitis and diarrohoea and as he has chrohns disease should we be exposing him to possibility of colitis? I know homeopathy can help with this something can help him. Its finding the right thing at the right time. thank you again for your concern. we are devasted with this diagnosis and need all the help we can get. kind regard

No we are not giving antibiotics at the moment as we are waiting a call from registrar for results from swab test at to which antibiotic he need. can I try anything homeopathic in the interim?

thanks will try the staph. kind regards

Dear Nawaz I gave him stap 200c this morning. By this eve the wound was very painful, raw and red. The discharge/weeping has made the surrounding skin red and sore. He is in alot of pain and will not even let you near the cheeks of the bum to open and clean or even look. Please please suggest what we should do . We are desperate parents of a young boy in alot of pain. We pray things change .

Dear Nawaz, thank you. He improved a small amount after hypericum and let me clean etc. he is not on antibiotics and now we have the endoscopy and colonoscopy booked for next week. My concern is trying to get this wound closed ASAP. What do u suggest. The wound is open slightly red and pink. You can see a piece of flesh that sometimes sticks to the outside of the wound . This Is painful when I touch accidently when cleaning. There is discharge but no colour no odour . Seems to be less swelling. Thanks again

Thnk u for your response will start as per suggestion. Kind regards again.
