How To Cure A Large Scab On Stitches In Corner Of Mouth?
My son has stitches in corner of mouth, inside and out. He is on antibiotics, but has a large scab that covers his stitches looks scary and I can't tell if it is ok. He followed up with nurse, but I am worried. He is eight, active, and this happened 2 days ago...thank you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The scab what you are telling could be the deposits or if it is a absorbable suture it can be a dissolving suture mass. You can do saline gargling. If it does not heal then consult a oral surgeon and get it irrigated with saline and betadine.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
