Q: For the first few days after surgery, don't use a straw to sip beverages or foods like smoothies. The suction could disturb the healing process. It's important to make sure that you drink plenty of water after your surgery. This will keep mouth moist and help avoid dry socket and infection. Avoid caffeinated and carbonated beverages during the first day. Avoid alcohol for at least a week after surgery. Hot drinks such as tea, coffee, or cocoa could dislodge the blood clots forming in the empty socket where your wisdom tooth was. These blood clots are necessary to the healing process. soft or liquid food. Don't eat anything that could get caught in the empty sockets or disrupt clotting. Use your other teeth to chew, if you have to chew your food. This will minimize the amount of food that can get stuck in between your teeth and potentially cause infection. In the first day post-op, eat foods like yogurt and applesauce, which won't irritate your mouth or get lodged in your teeth, which could cause infection. Soft oatmeal or cream of wheat are other good options. Avoid, hard, chewy, brittle, very hot or spicy foods that might irritate the surgery site or get lodged in your teeth, making the conditions ripe for infection. Rinse with warm salt water after every meal for the first week following surgery. If you smoke or chew tobacco, avoid them for as long as possible. Doing this will help ensure a full and timely recovery and also keep infection and inflammation at bay. Consuming tobacco following oral surgery can delay healing and also increases your risk for complications such as infection. If you smoke, wait at least 72 hours to have a cigarette. If you chew tobacco, don't use it for at least a week. It's normal to have pain for a few days following the removal of your wisdom teeth. Use either over the counter pain relievers or a prescription pain medication to help alleviate pain and some swelling. Take NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen. These will help alleviate some of the swelling associated with the surgery. You can also use acetaminophen, but this does not manage inflammation. Your doctor may prescribe a pain medication if over the counter pain relief doesn't work for you. You'll likely have some swelling for a few days after surgery. This is normal and applying an ice pack to your cheeks will help reduce swelling and pain, including around your teeth. The swelling usually goes away after 2-3 days. Patient should relax and avoid strenuous activity or exercise until swelling resolves.

Q: You can often find a sitz bath kit in the medical supply section of the grocery store, or your local pharmacy. If you can't find a sitz bath kit locally at a store, you can purchase them easily online. The kit will include a bath basin that fits over a toilet seat; a solution bag for the bathwater; a plastic tube to spray the water; and a clamp to control the flow through the tube. Even if your kit is new out of the package, you want to make sure that you're not exposing your damaged tissue to possible infection. Clean the basin thoroughly with a bleach-based cleaning product. Scrub well and rinse with water. Once you get your bath set up, you can just sit and relax while it does its work. But first, you have to set it up. Place the tube through the hole in the basin that's used for circulating the solution throughout the bath. Consult the directions that came with the kit if you're having trouble locating the tube hole. Snake the tube all the way to the center of the basin and clip it into the bottom of the bowl. Consult your kit's instructions for a diagram if necessary. Use the clamp to cut off flow through the tube; you don't want it to start leaking before you're ready! Fill the solution bag with warm water, or whichever solution you'd like to use to treat the damaged tissue. Making sure the toilet seat is up, place the basin over the inner rim of the toilet. It's best if the bag can hang from some sort of hook, but all that matters is that it's elevated, so the liquid will drain downward. You'll likely have to adjust a bit to find a comfortable position. Feel free to adjust your position as necessary throughout the duration of the bath to make sure you're not causing yourself unnecessary discomfort. Release the clamp that's holding back the warm solution in the elevated bag. The hose at the bottom of the bowl will begin spraying upward, so make the necessary adjustments to ensure that the bathwater is being sprayed onto the damaged tissue that you wish to treat. This might include adjusting your position or adjusting the position of the hose. If you must adjust the position of the hose, make sure to cut off the flow of water using the clamp. Otherwise, you'll make a mess! The solution in the bag should be released slowly, not all at once, if your kit is working properly, so you'll have a few minutes to relax into the spray. Even after the bag has emptied and the hose has ceased spraying, you can simply soak in the water that's been collected in the basin for as long as you'd like. You must be very gentle with the damaged tissue after your sitz bath, so don't rub yourself dry as you normally would. Use a clean, soft towel, pat and dab until the area has been dried. Scrubbing or rubbing can cause irritation and further injury.
A: Purchase a sitz bath kit. Clean the basin. Set up the sitz bath. Put the basin and bag in place. Sit on the basin. Unclamp the tube. Relax. Pat yourself dry when finished.

Q: Create a budget that delineates all of your monthly expenses. Figure out how much money you have left over to put towards debt payments each month. Only charge what you can afford to pay each month. For example, suppose after paying for your rent, utilities, transportation, food and other necessary expenses each month, you have $80 left over. Don't charge more than $80 per month on your credit card so that you can afford to pay the credit card bill each month. This shows future lenders that they can depend on you to pay back what you borrow. As a rule of thumb, you should spend no more than one-third of your income on debt. This includes mortgages, credit cards, student loans and car loans. Monitor your spending each month to make sure you are no spending more than you can afford. Your credit score is based in large part on your ability to pay your bills on time. This shows lenders that you are responsible and dependable. Make a commitment to never miss a payment. Consider setting up automatic payments that can be deducted from your bank account every month on the due date. This way you will never make a late payment or miss a payment. If you have to carry a balance on your credit card, pay at least the minimum amount due each month. Make all of your payments on time. Keep your balance below 25 percent of your total credit limit. Part of your credit score is based on the percentage of available credit you are using. Make a plan to pay down your balance as quickly as possible. Check your credit report at least once per year. Look for accounts you don't recognize, loans that have been paid off but are still reported as "open," and mistakes in your personal information. Contact the credit reporting agencies to report any inaccurate information or suspicious activity. You are entitled to receive one free credit report per year from annualcreditreport.com. Your credit report does not include your credit score. You may need to purchase this separately.
A:
Make a budget and stick to it. Borrow only what you can afford to borrow. Pay your bills on time. Carry credit card balances responsibly. Monitor your credit report.
