General & Family Physician,  's  Response
For mucositis, make him do gargles with Xero-M sachets. 1/2 a sachet in a glass of water twice a day. He may also do frequent gargles as much as possible with a pinch of sodium bicarbonate and a pinch of common salt.
For pus secretion, you may have to take broad spectrum antibiotics like ciprofloxacin. If pus is persistent a pus culture should be done to determine the antibiotic which is susceptible.
Clean the wound area with warm saline or betadine solution. apply neosporin powder.
