So the inside of my lip got a couple cuts from my brackets. Any way I can make then heal faster?? I find it hard to eat and drink. Also, all we have is a clinic and they have to call a doctor for meds. And that can take a while. Any suggestions?

Closest doctor is 200 miles in a bigger village.

I would definitely try out the Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment on your lips. This product is designed to soothe and heal cuts, burns and scratches on skin but especially on the lips. Works effectively, heals cuts fast.

We have 1 store ONLY with 5 aisles.. They don't carry anything for braces. But I'll check if they have that ointment tomorrow. They're closed on Sundays..

Always use wax! I know it's annoying but it does help. Your orthodontist should have given you some.
As for the cuts you already have, I agree with the swishing salt water. And don't keep poking at them with your tongue lol, I always did that.

I did try wax that the ortho gave me but it just stings and burns my lip. :/

Oh really? Hm maybe you will have to try a different kind.
I always have the cuts problem too though. My mouth is still rough on the inside where I'm guessing it scarred.

I agree salt water helps a lot. Apple pectin helps too, it's fiber from the fruit. It has the consistency of gelatin. You apply it to the cuts and it helps protect and heal it. If wax isn't working for you, you could try putting cotton balls/rods in your mouth Lol.
