Post Op, 15 days. Day 9 experienced, interior swelling in salvary glands (under tongue), two outside lesions on face unresponsive to antibiotics. Feel run down, lesions swell and hurt, do not seem to be puss filled. Day 16, on 3/5/16 in 5 hrs going to oral surgeon who wants to put healing caps on implants despite infection? Not sure what to do as oral surgeon cares more about liability then the human aspect.
