At this point, the oral surgeon and ENT need to get their thoughts "together" on how to proceed. If they won't collectively corroborate, you may have to consult with a new OS and ENT. You may also have to consult with an infectious disease specialist.

You need professional guidance on this from both an OS and ENT as soon as possible.

Thank you for your response, Bryanna. With the holidays that is easier said than done. My question is, should I call the oral surgeon and is there a way he can tell if this is being caused from the bone graft material? Like an X-ray ? Also, I am just wondering why an infectious disease specialist? I tried to get into one a while back and they wouldn't take me. This is so hard as nobody seems to care and I feel like I slip through the cracks everywhere. This has been going on almost a year now. I need to go back to work as in February I start on Cobra and I won't be able to afford it. I work for the airlines and can't fly like this. Ian so frustrated!
Also, if the bone graft was infected, wouldn't I be able to tell from the site? It seems to be healing well, it isn't sore (once in a while there is a little pain) or is it overly red or swollen.
