General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Even though it needs to be examined personally, from your history it seems to be a non healing wound post surgery, with sprouting granulation tissue inside. This could be a foreign body reaction due to an undesolved catgut/suture which would get absorbed gradually. If not, then you might have to get it reassessed by your operating surgeon for advice. Till then, you could go for an antiseptic mouth wash/gargles to prevent further infection thourgh the wound.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
