Frozen peas were a lifesaver for me too—I was skeptical at first, but they really do mold perfectly around the jaw. Good tip about labeling them clearly afterward... I learned that lesson the hard way myself. Hang in there, it gets easier each day.
Frozen peas were my go-to as well—honestly didn't think they'd work at first, but they surprised me. I remember feeling anxious the first couple days, but you're right, each day does get a little better. You've got this... just take it slow.
Frozen peas are a classic move, but I upgraded to frozen corn—feels fancier somehow, lol. Seriously though, you're spot on about taking it slow. Day 3 was my turning point...hang in there, smoother sailing ahead.
Frozen corn, huh? Interesting twist, but honestly, I've found gel ice packs wrapped in a thin towel to be way more effective. They mold better to your face and stay cold longer...less drippy mess too. Worth considering if corn loses its charm!
"gel ice packs wrapped in a thin towel to be way more effective"
Totally agree about the gel packs—I was skeptical at first, but after my wisdom teeth surgery, they were a lifesaver. Frozen peas kept sliding off my face...not exactly relaxing when you're already anxious about swelling!
