Have you tried rinsing your mouth out with salt water? Might kill some of the germs.
The bread with honey was quite soft, and you could cut the crusts off. Don't bite but break off tiny pieces and put into your mouth. My mother used to soak bread in warm milk and sprinkle it with sugar. No chewing with that.
oh Star, I steep me teef every night and rinse them thoroughly before they touch my lips. I'm puffed up under the chin and puffy cheeks, ear-ache, lawdy I sound like a right moaning moonraker :)
I also salt-rinse my mouth once a day (All this has been a ritual for about 5 years)
I thought I was fine this morning, you know the one, a sore bit and it disappears as soon as you're over the threshold. Back again pained this afternoon, but hey-ho, worse things happen.
Many thanks for asking xx
Bum - sorry, alba, I just asked again on the crisp thread! Can't imagine how I missed your reply - have got my varifocals on too ☺ Keep the painkillers handy, sorry it has not gone yet. I am a little tired - no sleep since Sunday but that is 24hr BP monitors for you lol xx
