Hello, all,

On September 2 I had a chirurgical intervention for cancer of the tongue. About a third of my tongue was cut off, and I had a neck dissection. Three weeks later, the neck is all right, but the tongue still hurts, and there is a yellowish supuration. Is this normal?
I have been given anti inflammatories and mild analgesics.
Thanks for your answers!

Hi Shoshona

Have you talked to your doctor about this? Do you have a fever or any swelling along with it? It could be nothing, but why take that chance--please go to the doctor.

Let us know how this turns out, y muy buena suerte.

Hi, Julia, thanks for the prompt answer. I went to my surgeon yesterday. He says it' normal, part of the healing process. However, he suggested an echography and an endoscopy in a month.
Take care!
