Terri,
That's the combo I had - now I "remember"! The lidocaine numbs your mouth, so that may give you some relief. Granted, I never had the sores to begin with, but my onc told me to use it as a preventative measure.
I hope you get these mouth sores under control. I'm sure they can be quite painful.
All my best,
