THE PLATE HAS BEEN REMOVED A YEAR AFTER. still small ampint of pus come out from the surgical area. mucositis is another problem. how to maintain body weight
[|AI|]  For mucositis, make him do gargles with Xerox sachets. 1/2 a sachet in a glass of water twice a day. He may also do frequent gargles as much as possible with a pinch of sodium bicarbonate and a pinch of common salt. For pus secretion, you may have to take broad spectrum antibiotics like ciprofloxacin. If pus is persistent a pus culture should be done to determine the antibiotic which is susceptible. Clean the wound area with warm saline or Betadine solution. Apply newsprint powder.
