Recently undergone submandibular gland removal. Stiches removed after a week. Swelling and hardness below jaw is still there. After one week of surgery , doctor also gave one local anasthesia injection to remove pus pockets below tongue. Still there is small wound and slight pus formation below tongue. Not given any antibiotics. Applying metrogel 2% and using chlorhexidine mouth wash. Will it be enough? Or do I need to visit doctor and ansk for antibiotics? Please suggest if anyone experienced similar situation.
