Classic signs of wound infection are increasing redness around the wound, warmth, swelling, increased pain, foul odor, purulent drainage, and fever. In older adults and people with diabetes, infection often presents subtly — new confusion, loss of appetite, or rising blood sugar can be the first sign. Suspected infection needs same-day evaluation.
