White tongue
Hey everyone, I’m now 9 days post op and seem to have some type of bacterial growth on my tongue. I did some research and read that it isn’t uncommon to have bacterial/fungal outbreaks like this after taking rounds of antibiotics or medications.
Has anyone else had this happen after their jaw surgery?
Unfortunately my surgeons office is closed until Monday, but I will be making a call to them tomorrow morning. I am just worried about getting an infection in my stitches and bone plates.
The photo is not my tongue but the first half of my tongue looks very similar. (I still can’t open my mouth very much so I can only see about the first half of it.)
(I am currently 9 days post OP, and I believe it started around day 7 post OP.)
