[OOC] [MATURE] The Vampire RP

[Aisling]

My laptop has a virus that didn't get caught.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling That sucks. Do you have a backup of your data? If so, you can reinstall the operating system (that isn't too hard)

[Aisling]

I am glad that my laptop is up and seems to be running fine.

Do you know of any blogging sites that are good, simple to run and free? I am looking for one to post my magic classes on.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling I know one... blogger.com

[Aisling]

@CountDracula
Thanks! I'll give it a try. :)

[CountDracula]

@Aisling You're welcome :)

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

I am going to dinner then be back.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling Okay

[Aisling]

Bedtime for me... good night!

[CountDracula]

@Aisling Good night :)

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

I have had a rough day so I am heading to bed early. Good night!

[CountDracula]

@Aisling Good night

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

Time to head to bed since I am getting up early. Good night!

[CountDracula]

@Aisling Good night

[CountDracula]

@Aisling Do you have any idea on what to do against a severe toothache :/

[Aisling]

@CountDracula There are a number of home remedies. Whiskey soaked cotton ball an holding an aspirin tablet are the two most common ones. Any strong alcohol can be used instead of whiskey.
There are teething gels and other oral numbing gels that can be bought in a store.

I hope that it will quit soon. :(

[CountDracula]

@Aisling The problem is that it is early Sunday morning... all the shops have closed, and we don't have any strong alcohol here... we do have such a gel, but that only helps for 10-20 minutes... I also feel like I'm getting a fever. Definitely need to see a dentist tomorrow.

@CountDracula

Try warm salt water rinse while I look. As warm as you can take it.

@CountDracula

I have used a hot wash cloth on a heating pad that is water proof. That is my favorite remedy. Here are a few that I have not tried:
1. Pepper and Salt
Salt mixed with pepper can be of great use when a tooth becomes extremely sensitive as both the ingredients have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Mix equal amounts of pepper and common salt with a few drops of water to form a paste.
Apply the paste directly on the affected tooth and allow it to sit for a few minutes.
Do this daily for several days.
2. Garlic
Use of garlic can also provide immense relief from toothache. Garlic has antibiotic and other medicinal properties that can be very effective in reducing the pain.

Mix a crushed garlic clove (or garlic powder) with some table salt or black salt and apply it directly on the affected tooth to alleviate the pain. If you prefer, you can chew one or two cloves of garlic to get relief.
Repeat this natural treatment for a few days.
3. Cloves
Cloves have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant and anesthetic properties that help alleviate tooth pain and fight infection.

Grind two whole cloves. Mix in a little olive oil or any vegetable oil and apply on the affected tooth.
Another option is to dab a cotton ball in clove oil and rub it directly on the sore tooth. Or, you can mix a few drops of clove oil in half a glass of water and use it as a mouth rinse.
4. Onion
Onions have antiseptic and antimicrobial properties that control a toothache. It can provide relief from pain by killing the germs causing an infection.

At the first sign of a toothache, chew raw onion for a few minutes to relieve the pain.
If you are not able to chew it, place a piece of raw onion directly on the bad tooth or gum.
5. Asafetida
Dental problems such as toothaches and bleeding gums can be treated at home with the use of asafetida.

Simply add a pinch or one-half teaspoon of powdered asafetida to two teaspoons of lemon juice and then warm it slightly. Use a cotton pad to apply the solution on the affected area. This will give you quick relief from the pain.
Alternatively, asafetida fried in clarified butter can be put in the tooth cavity for instant relief.
6. Warm Salt Water
A simple glass of warm salt water can help treat a toothache.

Mix half a spoon of common salt in a glass of hot water and use it to rinse your mouth thoroughly.

It will help reduce swelling and inflammation, and also fight the bacteria that cause infection

7. Guava Leaves

Fresh guava leaves can also alleviate toothache, thanks to their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties.

Simply chew one or two tender guava leaves until the juice starts working on the affected tooth. You can also use raw spinach leaves in the same way.
Another remedy is to put four to five guava leaves in water and boil it. Allow the solution to cool to a warm temperature and add some salt. Use the solution as a mouthwash.
8. Vanilla Extract

Vanilla extract is another popular home remedy for treating toothache as it helps numb the pain. Plus, the vanilla has a calming effect.

9. Wheatgrass Juice
wheatgrass juice

Wheatgrass has natural antibacterial properties that will help fight tooth decay and relieve toothache. Extract the juice of wheatgrass and use it as a mouthwash.

It will absorb toxins from the gums, reduce the growth of bacteria and keep the infection under control. If you wish, you can simply chew on wheatgrass.

10. Try an acupressure technique to stop tooth pain fast. With your thumb, press the point on the back of your other hand where the base of your thumb and your index finger meet. Apply pressure for about two minutes. This helps trigger the release of endorphins, the brain’s feel-good hormones. (Off-limits if you’re pregnant.)

@Aisling Oh, thank you :) I'm definitely gonna try the salt and pepper thing... we don't have any of the other ingredients here. And I'm allergic to garlic anyway. And I'm gonna take painkillers.
