Hi there , for the last couple of weeks I've had an infection lurking round my peg site , it had healed beautifully but just started discharging . Yesterday a dressing was put on and I was started on antibiotics . While the peg nurse was cleaning round the stoma she said there was some granulation on one side , which I had noticed a red raised area myself . She says that once the infection has cleared up she will set to on getting rid of the granulation .
Has anyone else had , for one, an infection , I keep very clean so not sure how I got it , and two , granulation ? :-?
 
Sorry about what is happening. I hope it heals soon. I have not had either problem in the 2+ years I have had mine. I hope someone else will respond.
 
Thank you joel , I am rather disappointed that it's got sore , I'm hoping the antibiotics heal it up . x
 
Tich1 My Dad had an infection around his PEG as well. Mom and Dad were meticulous with the care but it can happen to anyone. Any time you have a foreign object protruding from your body (PEG, trach, foley) there is a risk. Dad received antibiotics and it was painless after 1 day and cleared up after 2.

Hope yours heals just as quickly.

Tich, I haven't had any problems with my peg tube site and let me assure you, I am not that meticulous. I usually just clean it with a Qtip and some saline solution before I go to bed. I am sorry that you are having these problems, it does sound like it would be painful or at least uncomfortable. I hope that the antibiotics clear it up fast ansd that you will be able to enjoy your trip to your niece's wedding. Take care.

Thank you for your kind words as always Barry . xx
 
I haven't had any infection but I have had granulation at my PEG site. They use a cream that stings (can't recall the name)
mightily but cleared it up and it hasn't come back. Not at all a big deal. Hope that helps.

Hi danjay , she did say something about a cream too , Thank you :)
 
hello

l've had granulation so bad it hurt and my doctor used silver nitrate to burn it off but it kept coming back. l use cortizone cream on it over night and every morning it's cleaned with saline

ALL GONE
 
Hey Laura,

Do you purchase the saline solution , or just rock salt in some water ?

Glen
 
We use ordinary table salt, 1 teaspoon to a liter of purified water.
 
Glen l purchase it and it's great because the granulation goes away
