Ab23,

Okay... sounds good!

Yes, keep rinsing with salt water and slowly taper off within a week or so.

If the remainder of the healing goes without a hitch, please check back with an update of your healing

She said that because the site is closed over it would be near impossible that pus would be coming out of the site directly. If it was she would see a pinhole type entrance/exit where it would be coming from. Also given the closure of the site, I would be experiencing pain and/or swelling. None of which I have experienced, other then some very occasionally slight pain - which is due to the site healing after being infected / root canaled tooth etc. Coupled with the fact that I have not seen anything in a week of observing it, other then the apparent murkiness after sleeping.

Regarding the murkiness in the morning, I managed to get a pretty good picture. She did not seem concerned, given that when I run my tounge over the site there is no odd taste or anything. Could be related to the post-nasal dripping that I have experienced.

Regarding redness, simply immature tissue that will heal with time.

Forgot to ask if I should continue salt water rinses, I think Iw ill for at least another week

Thanks for your help
