my peg is always sore, is this normal? I change the dressing daily and use triple abx ointment. I've had the tube for many months. it's an annoyance!

I would definitely get a doctor to check it out, it may be slightly intected. I clean mine with a sailine solution and a Q tip every day and have not had any issues since I got it just over a year ago.
