They seem to be filled in with new tissue already although I drank from a straw the other day and the right side is very sore. I also seem to have lingual tonsillitis which my ENT gave me Keflex 500 mg 3 times a day for 10 days. I was worried about the soreness so I saw the oral surgeon the staff stated the site was filled in and looked great as did my dentist who saw me 2 weeks post op. I'm concerned with the soreness I'm having, the salt-water rinse kind of stings it. When I look at it, it seems ok although looks almost rawer on certain sides than the other. Yesterday it hurt to open my jaw a little on the left side, was very random didn't last as long but hurt up to my eye and cheek. Once I massaged my cheek it was a little better. It almost feels raw in areas, drinking water doesn't make it hurt, it almost feels like a scab was pulled off. I am just concerned with what's going on, hoping it's not an infection, but I also am on antibiotics. I've had a rough time lately with teeth issues, had a bottom molar re-root canaled due to an infection as well in December. Any information would be helpful thanks!
