hello, my father is 4months post surgery.. he had a jawsplit amongst other things and from time to time will experience swelling in the face, redness and sometimes drainage under his chin.. he had his montly check-up yesterday and the doctors were so impressed with his progress.. 2 days prior my father's swelling was non-existent.. doctors said even though there was some redness and swelling that he looked great! we came home and a few hours later, swelling is worse, redness and draining.. we put a call into the ENT and he re-filled his antibiotic.. this is his third time on this antibiotic for this.. doctor is not concerned about cancer being back because he did not see anything suspicous during his visit.. he said what could happen sometimes is that the body has a reactiion to the titatium and we may need to talk about long term anticiotics.. has anyone had experience with this? thank you!
