Need suggestion for my sisters treatment
Hello doctor, My sister currently taking treatment for the black fungus for the last 1.5 months. She had a surgery last month (May 24) and currently taking Amphotericin B injection.10 days before doctors said all infections got cleared and mostly we can discharge within one week. Now the worst part is she is feeling loosening of teeth in her top right side for the last 5 days. Doctors checked and told due to that fungus her upper jaw bone got eroded little and we need to remove the jaw part by surgery now otherwise it will again start to spread. As per the fungus report my sister doesnt have any fungus in her face,teeth,nose. All test results came as negative.I am attaching the reports here. Can u pls suggest is the surgical debridement is required compulsory or can we treat that by any medicine? My sister is just 30 years old and worrying a lot after heard about this. Please suggest us 🙏

Hello. Please attach her contrast MRI report, if not done still please get it done. If teeth are loosened with no other oral condition to cause it than it maybe because of MUCORMYCOSIS. In such case eroded bone has to be debrided as part of treatment to improve overall prognosis of patient

Greetings, I understand your concern. I have gone through the description and the pictures you have posted. I highly suggest a full mouth radiograph (OPG) to see if there is a bone loss. If you have any concern or need an advice then you can consult me on practo.

get an opg as soon as possible and post the pic.
