When I was young in HS I had a tooth infection and I have to put something in addition to this. During my life my parents have helped me solve various specific problems and I asked my mother after she said to rinse with saltwater: "Ot kade znaesh kak da opravish tolkova mnogo problemi?" [How do you know how to solve so many problems?]

I guess I could say that maybe if you want to be a parent in time it would be good to buy a few books, from my memory, of things that are everyday remedies for different things if you want to impress your children.

In all honesty before the saltwater rinse the only thing I thought would help out the infection was baking soda with water or rinsing with alcohol without drinking it. I never even thought to use saltwater.

It could be just a few books that discuss a variety of things. How to fix a sink. How to unclog a faucet (Which she had told me is done by pouring very hot water that you boil down the sink as metal expands and helps ease the clog if you don't have drain cleaner at home or something else you could use.)

Overall it was a good memory. I know it seems plain but the purpose or reasoning is in it.

P.S. A while later while we were renting our sink broke. The pipes detached from the handles. I looked up a video on youtube and repaired it myself. I laid down underneath with a pillow on my back so I would be comfy while doing that and put a bucket next to me to hold water so I don't have to ask the landlord to turn off the water valves in the basement.

So you see: Parents and instructional videos have uses. It's great that people make this content on the internet. Even if you forget how to do it later on you can look up the same or similar video and do it again.

I had told her that she saved 150 dollars at the time for the cost of a handyman and asked for five dollars which I used to buy a sandwich from the deli nearby.
