It broke the gums the other day and it's been causing a bit of pain and swelling.

The Army has let me keep them because they aren't growing weird. I assume this is like, what todlers go through when they teeth. It's not too bad now, but sometimes it gets pretty bad. I'm going to have all four pulled out when I get back state side, fuck this.

But does anyone have any remedies to help make this shit feel better? Chewing on stuff back there? Salt? Ice? I dunno. Does anyone know any ancient chinese secrets to help
