Thanks!

My ENT is aware of them...he has seen them! He is admamant that their was no damage to my salivary glands as my surgery was so superficial. Then again he wasn't expecting me to develop significant adhesions that have anchored part of my tongue and twisted my tip (which I think are contributing to the blocked glands) I am sure he is a little p*ssed that he didn't do a skin graft in the first place as he originally intended.

I see this morning I have another mucocele forming! I know antihistimines can contribute to mucoceles and they are not typically painful but this 3rd one rubs up on my sharp bottom teeth and so I am popping my T3's.

I am taking tomorrow off work due to my sinus infection so I will call his office. He said he would watch them. But never said watch for what? He is so evasive, you cannot get a straight answer from him. So nice that you have an empathetic surgeon who reassured you that the mucocele was just that! I guess cause I am a nurse mine doesn't bother to explain much to me (gee thanks :P) I always hope he isn't this flat with his other patients.

I am aware that mucoceles show up hot on scans. I am not scheduled for any at this time, perhaps closer to my revision sx. The mucoceles will obviously be dealt with during the sx if not before, if they are still there. Which might complicate things??

Did your ENT give you any suggestions on how to minimize them? Keep well hydrated? I read some suggesting Sodium compresses to draw out the fluid? Avoid alcohol (duh!) and antihistimines.

Willing to try out any homemade remedies out there! Bring them on!!

Thanks again!
