What Causes Lump In The Mouth After Removing Mucocele?
I had a mucocele removed 10 days ago and went to the post surgery and was cleared. Now this weekend a bump, knot or another mucocele? is back in its place! The oral surgeon removed the glands and the mucocele,so what is this bump? I called the oral surgeon but he cannot see me until tomorrow.

Hello!Thank you for posting in HCM.
This can be recurrence of mucocele.However,recurrence is less common after surgery.I suggest you to get a CO 2 laser surgery done this time for the mucocele. Laser surgery reports less frequent recurrence.Use a saline gargle six times a day.This will reduce the swelling temporarily till you get it done.
Regards.
