I agree, if he has a raspy sound when you listened to him breathe with a stethoscope, I would
definitely get him to another vet because he probably did aspirate some.
So many times, vets miss the telltale signs of them going into brumation & try to medicate them,
etc which complicates things & makes them worse.
How is he doing today?

How is he doing tonight?
I am sorry he has had such a rough time. Do you have any pictures of
him? Have they done any blood work on him to determine gout, etc?
If he has swelling in the extremities that could indicate gout, or maybe
an infection of some type.
Definitely get him started on the black cherry. If you do get serrapeptase
in tablet form, I can help with dosing. It can really help out his joints.
The carnivore care is high protein for sure, so I wouldn't overfeed it. Let
us know how things are going.

Opening and closing mouth may just be due to his nostrils being blocked from an incomplete nasal shed.
Did the vet indicate fluid in his lungs ?
Any suggestion of using a nebulizer to get the meds deep into his lungs so they have a chance of clear out any infection / mucus in there ?

How is your dragon doing this evening?
I agree, ask the vet about possible nebulization if he is showing signs of respiratory distress
from that incident. It helps a lot, & is more effective than oral medications.
How often does he open/close his mouth?
