hi, my father is 4 months post surgery and is doing amazing well, of course except for the "discomfort/pain" he experiences in his lower part of his jaw, which is all titanium plate.. the past few weeks he has been on an antibiotic for some leaking under his chin where the incision is from the jawsplit.. he had 3/4 of his tongue removed and the portion he does have left developed a white film which the ENT said was thrush.. anyone familiar with this? today was one of "those" appointments.. :-(..
thank you again!
concerned daughter..
