A consumer reported when they had their stitches removed there was "yellowish, bloody, watery fluid stuff" oozing out from the incision site.The healthcare provider (hcp) told the consumer it was the fat that was being heated up by the implant being hot, and they should clean it with saline.The consumer was given levofloxacin 500mg to take once a day for seven days, but they were only able to take it for three days.According to the consumer they almost passed out from the medication because it gave them a flu like sensation and burning and numbness in the arms, legs, and feet.The consumer tried cutting the medication in half to see if cut the symptoms but instead the medication was discontinued and another one was started.According to the consumer the area was improving but there was still a little opening at the incision with a lot of puss and blood on the dressing, but it had improved since removing the insulin pump/sensor.A follow-up appointment was scheduled for (b)(6)2016.
