Benadryl acts as a local anesthetic. That is why it is in anti-itch creams. I read in a pharmacy journal years ago that mixing Benadryl syrup (Diphenhydramine 12.5mg/5cc) with an equal portion of Maalox makes a pain relieving mouthwash. There is something called Magic Mouthwash for mouth sores but you will need a doctors prescription for this.
