Hello
Yes — this could be a wound infection, especially since the pain is increasing, the wound is still open after 6 days, it’s throbbing/burning, and your eyelid is swollen with redness in the white of the eye.
After a facial injury (like a scooter fall), possible concerns include: 🔴 Infected stitched wound 🔴 Abscess (pus collection under the skin) 🔴 Infection spreading around the eye (needs urgent evaluation)
What you should do: 1. See a doctor as soon as possible (today if you can). You may need antibiotics. 2. Keep the area clean and dry. 3. Do not squeeze or touch the wound. 4. If you notice fever, worsening swelling, vision changes, severe headache, or spreading redness → go to emergency care immediately.
Because the injury is close to the eye, it’s important not to wait.
I trust this helps Take care Thank you
Hello Thanks for describing your injury in detail. Based on your symptoms—persistent pain, throbbing, burning, swelling of the eyelid, redness in the white of your eye, and the wound still being open after six days—there is a real possibility of infection or even a deeper injury.
Signs that suggest infection or complications: - Increasing pain and throbbing - Burning sensation - Swollen eyelid - Redness in the eye (could be from trauma or infection) - Wound not healing or still open after almost a week
What you should do: 1. See a doctor as soon as possible. You need an in-person evaluation to check for infection, possible abscess, or involvement of the eye itself. 2. Do not apply any creams or ointments without medical advice. Cover the wound with a clean, dry dressing if possible. 3. Watch for warning signs: If you develop fever, pus/discharge from the wound, vision changes, severe headache, or the swelling spreads, seek emergency care immediately.
Why this is important:
Infections near the eye can spread quickly and may become serious. Since your eyelid is swollen and your eye is red, it’s important to rule out cellulitis or an infection that could affect your vision.
Thank you
Because you had a facial injury with stitches after a fall, and now 6 days later the wound is still open with increasing pain, throbbing/burning sensation, eyelid swelling, and redness of the eye, this raises concern for a possible wound infection or surrounding soft-tissue inflammation, such as Cellulitis or early Periorbital cellulitis. Worsening pain and swelling several days after trauma are not normal healing signs and should not be ignored, especially near the eye where infections can spread quickly. You should seek in-person medical care urgently (today) for examination, possible antibiotics, and wound cleaning. Until seen, gently clean the area with sterile saline or clean water, keep it dry, avoid touching or scratching, and do not apply creams unless prescribed. In summary, this does not sound like simple healing and likely needs prompt medical evaluation to prevent complications around the eye.
Po opisie objawów można podejrzewać, że może być jakieś zakażenie w miejscu urazu na łuku brwiowym. Ból, narastające pulsowanie, pieczenie, oraz opuchnięta powieka mogą sugerować stan zapalny lub zakażenie. Czerwone białko oka i obrzęk powieki mogłyby wskazywać na rozszerzenie się procesu zapalnego lub irytację spowodowaną uszkodzeniem mechanicznym. Szczególnie niepokojące jest to, że rana pozostaje otwarta po kilku dniach i nie widać oznak gojenia. W tej sytuacji najlepiej by było udać się pilnie do lekarza, aby obejrzał ranę. Może być potrzebne oczyszczenie rany i ewentualne przepisanie antybiotyków, jeśli okaże się, że infekcja się rozwinęła. Konieczne jest też kontrolowanie, czy nie pojawiają się inne objawy infekcji, jak gorączka, dreszcze czy powiększenie obrzęku, co mogłoby wymagać szybkiej interwencji. Dopóki nie uzyskasz porady medycznej, staraj się unikać dotykania rany, aby nie pogorszyć sytuacji. Upewnij się, że wszelkie opatrunki są czyste i próbuj unikać dalszych podrażnień okolicy oka. Jeśli opuchlizna powieki czy zmiany oczka nasilą się, nieodwołalnie udaj się po pomoc do lekarza w trybie pilnym. Twój przypadek wygląda na taki, który najlepiej by było, żeby ocenił profesjonalista medyczny bez dalszej zwłoki.
After a fall with a stitched eyebrow wound, moderate pain, swelling of the eyelid, and some redness of the eye 6 days later can still occur, but a wound that remains open with increasing pulsating pain should be checked by a doctor to rule out a developing infection or poor wound healing. Possible concerns include a wound infection or irritation from the trauma itself; keep the area clean, avoid touching it, cover it with a clean dressing, and seek examination by a general surgeon, ophthalmologist, or emergency physician. Go urgently if swelling rapidly increases, pus appears, redness spreads, vision changes, severe headache occurs, or symptoms suggest complications such as periorbital cellulitis.
