Patient's question:
Not undergoing surgery, hospitalized for 5 days and then returned home. Now, two weeks later, it's been noticed that the chin has become significantly sunken. The baby can only open the mouth a little and cannot open it fully. Previously, the mandibular fracture had been examined.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description and the implementation of purchasing image materials, it is inferred that there are cases of basilar skull fracture and mandibular fracture. After rigorous treatment, it is still suspected that the mouth cannot be opened, and this condition is likely caused by the mandibular fracture. It is best to have a thorough examination at the hospital. If the fracture is in a good position, many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally, and the ability to open the mouth can be gradually restored through exercise.
