Day 3. Gums & dentures recovery update.

Had to leave voice-mail for my dentist. Woke up in searing pain, on both upper/lower on right side of mouth. The swelling in that area went up hella fast overnight - spreading past jawline & into my neck for lower area; its closing up right nostril for upper swelling. I'm having problems breathing properly & back to just liquid food this morning because lower swelling has affected my swallowing.

I'm feeling grumpy due to the pain & new difficulties related to fast swelling areas, described above. First mouth sore has developed on upper left side of mouth. I have a special medicated rinse for that👍

I'm happy about my pureed food & liquids this morning. Made by a friend nearby. #IndianFood. Tomato soup & salt lassi. First time having salt lassi - it's a yogurt based drink, with cumin, black salt & mint.

Day 2, nighttime gums & dentures recovery update.

Denturist wants me to leave my immediate dentures in for tonight & tomorrow night. Just do antiseptic mouthwash rinses 3 times daily. Then, start practicing removing, washing & putting dentures back in after meals, on day 4.

Got a good 5 hours of sleep before waking up with a lot of jawbone & canine gums pain. I had to take 1.5 dose of T3 to quell it. I put more ice chips in mouth & wrapped flexible icepack on face, to feel more relief.
I'm having some nutritious Indian dal soup - lentils based & savoury. Having a chocolate Ensure nutritional supplement drink too.
Going back to sleep again, after eating, washing up & wrapping a new icepack around my face.
