Gargle with saltwater -- best way to heal anything inside the mouth.

I have stitches in my mouth at the moment to. I'm up to day 5. Rinse your mouth with salt water. Just the salt you put on your food in a bit of warm water and swish it in your mouth and spit it out. Excellent for stitches. Do it as often as you remember.

Pus shows that the wound is infected. The stitches must be removed, otherwise it will not heal. Go back to the hospital.

It's normal. it's an excess skin your body produces. Same thing happened with other parts of your body if it's injured.
