Dear Bryanna,
Thank you.
The OS who operated (both) are not back for another two weeks so the one who removed the stitches was just another dentist in the practice. It costs a lot just to be seen by an OS somewhere else and as I simply couldn't face another procedure right now will just wait I guess. But again, should be seen to be told there is hope for closing on its own...
I take nothing but vitamin c, multivitamins, l-lysine and homeopathic Arnica montana pillules to speed up (haha) healing, drink a tablespoon of pure aloe vera 5 times a day. Use bioptron lamp 2-3 times a day - that can't hurt.
I did take Belladonna pillules the first week, Amoxicillin 500 for 14 days, the nasal spray for 7 days then Sudafed for another 7. I'll return to nasal spray now if needed and might ask the GP for antibiotics to prevent sinus infection by all means. Until yesterday the stitches kept it kind of closed so sinus is fully exposed as of now, they appear clear yet.
I didn't talk much or have solid food since the extractions but had (all organic) juices and shakes made home from all kinds of vegetables and fruits, using almond milk rarely, water and coconut water. I don't smoke, don't drink alcohol or soda.
I rinse with sault water after every food (5), also used Corsodyl 3 times a day to prevent infection and clean the other teeth while the brush wouldn't fit in. I was given a syringe to use it on the holes. I know Corsodyl can slow down the healing but to none? I was told I needed it to keep infection off.
Now that I can brush (other teeth and tongue thoroughly and just pull the brush above the area very smoothly, no side movements there) I use Corsodyl in the evenings only.
I do not exercise, mainly rest - back to work on Friday.
Nothing else I can think of.
Thank you Bryanna, you've been helping more than you could imagine!
I'll try to exist with it and hope for the best. Felt a little pain since yesterday I think because it opened up.
Do you think I should go on antibiotics to prevent sinus issues?
Thank you so much,
Elna
