Sorry for taking so long with the update! If’s been a very busy few months, but Tyr is doing great!
So the vet I saw gave us 6 doses of ceftazidime injections with the first dose given in clinic. Basically, he suspects it could be infected with how slowly it was healing and we decided to treat with antibiotics first and we’ll check for a mass if it doesn’t improve.
Well that plus avoiding crunchy bugs actually did the trick and Tyr’s mouth is almost fully healed as you can see below.

It unfortunately got a bit bigger again after I fed him the last of his roaches because he was REALLY hankering for bugs after going a few days without (I had butterworms the past week because silkworms made his stool too watery but he gobbled them up so fast TwT).
I’m gonna see if Symton’s large BSFL are bigger than the other suppliers I’ve gotten them from since I don’t to do silkworms again and butterworms are a tad annoying to get ahold of lol.
As a funny aside, Tyr apparently is fine with getting stuck with a needle and only reacts to the cold medicine going in. He just really hates having his mouth forced open (and baths).
