I am now taking antibiotics four times a day. It's been about three days since the screw was removed and I'm having a bit of a strange sensation where it was removed from.
It's not exactly pain or discomfort, but just an odd sensation that I notice. It's hard to explain. The best way I can describe it is just that I feel it (it's not a feeling of the stitch that was put in rubbing against my mouth or something like that). Anyways, I'm paranoid that something is going wrong again, as I clearly haven't had any good luck thus far. Any advice? Thanks!
