Ibuprofen and ice
Though my neck and jaw are still quite inflated, My swelling seems to be at a stand still if not going down a tiny bit.Cindy worked last night and is sleeping now so she has not measured the swelling since she left last night but with the help of Ibuprofen and ice, it doesn't feel any bigger, and may even be backing off a bit. Thank you all for the continued prayers as I am cautioned( by my second follow up call )that even though it appears to be going down, eating hot ,scratchy, or otherwise irritating foods can cause the swelling to come back with a vengeance. I did get some chicken soup and beef stew ( with everything chopped minutely) made last night so I will get a more nutrition than ice cream, Popsicles, and pudding are capable of giving. Thanks for the prayers.
