Hi, get well soon. 14-21 days will be IMF. Hard food items can be taken after about 3 months. Have muscle relaxant and ice cream stick exercise for jaw opening

After weeks of surgery you can hv ur normal food and meanwhile soft food diet...and best excercise is to open mouth by group of icecream sticks in an appropriate manner... [Automatically added by Lybrate] Click "Consult Dr. Amit Sharma" below to consult privately with the doctor.
