Saltwater rinses definitely helped, but honestly, patience was the hardest part.
Did the saltwater rinses really make a big difference for you? I’ve read mixed things and kinda worry about overdoing it. I keep second-guessing if I’m doing it right or making things worse. Maybe I’m just paranoid, but sometimes it stings a little and then I freak out.
I get what you mean about patience being tough. I’m seriously struggling with the whole “waiting to heal” thing. But honestly, I found cold stuff like applesauce or even just ice chips way more soothing than eggs or yogurt. Did anyone else try that? Crunchy cravings are real though—I literally dreamt about potato chips last night, which is ridiculous.
Also, did you have any issues with swelling? Mine lasted longer than expected and it made me question if something was wrong. Just wondering if that’s normal or if I should be worried.
