A physician should evaluate any hernia, especially if there are symptoms of infection, including redness in the area, a feeling of heat in the area (with or without body fever), any crack in the skin or open area, or pain and swelling.
Treatments for an infected hernia may include:
- oral or IV antibiotics
- application of heat---IF directed to do so by a physician
- possible surgical drainage, whether done as outpatient or inpatient
- pain relief if needed
- reevaluation and reassessment within a few days after treatment
If you suspect you have an infected hernia, or if a known infection seems to not clear up or get worse, you really need to see a physician. Infections if untreated can lead to a blood infection.
